We have three games, but what we look at when we\u2019re playing a four dayer is breaking it down, looking after the sessions and things like that. The message won\u2019t be changing now. We\u2019ve played some good cricket and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll be trying to do to the back end of the season.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Glamorgan start September having secured Richard\u2019s services for the long term. In what\u2019s been an impressive first season for the head coach so far, Dawson was happy to commit to Sophia Gardens for a further three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was really pleased to extend my contract and sign for the next three seasons,\u201d he told us. \u201cThe club have made me feel very welcome and I\u2019ve really enjoyed working with the boys and coaching teams. Obviously we\u2019ve played some good cricket throughout the season as well and seen some young potential to come through and play in the first team. They\u2019ve been performing really well too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s exciting to be a part of this club. The fans have been good, and I\u2019ve enjoyed walking around the boundary during games and chatting with some people. It\u2019s been really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IT20\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.ticketing.cm.com\/glamorgan-ccc\/events\/3c099d15-388a-42a6-813e-9d15aa2e48b9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"one-night-16x9-blue-2-21807.jpg\" class=\"\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/one-night-16x9-blue-2-21807.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Men\u2019s Team Head Coach Richard Dawson has enjoyed returning to Glamorgan duties following his time with Welsh Fire&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-121029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
