Tickets are selling fast for the 2024 Metro Bank One-Day Cup final between Somerset and Glamorgan at Trent Bridge on Sunday, September 22
PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
The last showpiece event of the English summer is an all-South West affair between the 2019 winners from Taunton and the champions from 2021 hailing from South Wales.
As winners of both groups, Somerset and Glamorgan have enjoyed seamless routes to the final.
Having topped Group A with six wins out of eight, Somerset captained by Sean Dickson overcame defending champions Leicestershire in the semi-finals.
Winners of Group B Glamorgan meanwhile beat Warwickshire in Cardiff to book a place in their second final in four editions.
The fixture is a repeat of each county's first List A fixture back in May 1963, a Gillette Cup clash won by Glamorgan by 10 runs.

Recent 50-over meetings between the sides have been perilously close. A century from Eddie Byrom, formerly of Somerset, helped Glamorgan to a two-wicket success when the sides last met in 2023. Two years earlier, Somerset prevailed by a single run in a rain-affected game reduced to 37 overs a side, and in 2019 the margin of victory was just two runs when the Cidermen defended 261 in dramatic fashion at Sophia Gardens.
Nottinghamshire's home of Trent Bridge, which has hosted cricket since the 1830s, is the host venue of the final for the fourth straight year and is a firm favourite amongst cricket fans across the country.
Last year’s final produced one of the most nail-biting matches of the season and with Somerset and Glamorgan so evenly matched, the stage is set for another memorable Trent Bridge classic.
Gates at Trent Bridge open from 9.30am ahead of an 11am start, and fans can expect a host of food and drink options across what promises to be a thrilling day of cricket.
