Royal London One-Day Cup Final, Trent Bridge Glamorgan 296,-9 (50 runs): Carlson 82, Selman 36; Salter 33; Potts 355; Raine 358 Durham 238, (45.1 overs: Dickson 84*; Bancroft 55; Clark 40; Salter 342 Glamorgan beat Durham by an impressive 58 runs. Match scorecard
Kiran Carlson, Glamorgan's skipper, led the way as his team beat Durham by 58 runs in the One-Day Cup final at Trent Bridge.
This was the first win of the Welsh side for a knockout trophy in 58 years, in front of 7,200 supporters.
Carlson was the top scorer with 82, while Glamorgan scored 296-6 in their 50-overs to keep their batting order down.
Durham was unable to win the match and was bowled out for 238 in the 46th over. Sean Dickson had run out of partners with 84 runs.
It was fitting that Michael Hogan, 40, took the final wicket. However, Andrew Salter, spinner, had already done the major damage earlier by taking 3-42, openers Alex Lees, Graham Clark, and the prize scalp David Bedingham.
Salter was awarded man of the match after he had earlier scored 33 runs off 22 balls to rescue Durham from a clattering of wickets.
Glamorgan entered this tournament after a humiliating defeat by the Wales Minor Counties group.
They have shown great resilience, winning only two of eight qualifying games and finishing top of their group. Essex was defeated in the semi-final.
Glamorgan's young side was able to end their previous record for failure in knockout competitions.
Their previous Lord's finals had only produced runners-up medals against Middlesex, in the 1977 Gillette Cup. The only highlight was Mike Llewellyn's six over the pavilion, Gloucestershire, in the 2000 Benson & Hedges Cup, and Notts at the 2013 YB40.
They were eliminated at the semi-final stage in their previous two trips to T20 Finals Day in 2017 and 2003.
It was especially satisfying to win with the same team that got them to the final. Durham had left out four players on Hundred duty and brought in Matty Potts and Ben Raine as seam bowlers.
Like Matty Potts from Durham, Ben Raine returned to The Hundred to pick up three wickets. Both ended up on the losing side.
All the way down the order
Glamorgan had contributions from all levels of the order. 10 of their 11 batsmen scored double figures. The exception was Billy Root who got a golden duck to end a difficult few days for the Root brothers.
After Steve Reingold and Hamish Rutherford were both out, the Glamorgan innings was dominated by the 106-run third wicket stand between Nick Selman and captain Carlson.
Potts then took the heart out the Glamorgan middle orders when he made consecutive deliveries and removed Selman for 36. Root was then the first ball on his new ground. He then caught Carlson behind in his next over. At 160-5, it suddenly became a bit grim for Glamorgan.
The tail wriggled, with first a stand at 43 between Joe Cooke (29) and Tom Cullen (24) and then Salter's key contribution of 15 for James Weighell, and 33 for the final wicket between Lukas Cary (17 not out, and Michael Hogan (12 not Out).
This included nine runs from what should have been last ball. When Potts bowled a full-toss over waist-high, Hogan hit it for six. They got two for no-ball, and one for the scrambled bye.

The Durham response
Durham started well, going to 45-0 in 10 overs. Only for Salter, an off-spinner, to score twice in three overs.
He first removed Lees using a ball that turned sharply in order to clip the left-hander’s stump. Then Graham Clark, seeking an eighth boundary, drilled out to deep midwicket.
Glamorgan was in a dreamland when they bagged South African dangerman David Bedingham and Durham skipper Scott Borthwick in consecutive overs.
Cameron Bancroft and Sean Dickson formed a potentially match-saving 85 run partnership. However, the Australian skied Steve Reingold at deep square leg to replace Andy Gorvin.
Raine and Luke Doneathy left to skiers before Tom Cullen caught a spectacular diving catch to send Potts packing the second ball.
Liam Trevaskis was then positioned on the long-on boundary. Chris Rushworth moved to the next ball to finish it. He was caught behind fellow stager Hogan.
Andrew Salter, Glamorgan all-rounder
It's huge for us. It's a great feeling to come here as a young and inexperienced team and win against such a strong side.
"We wanted to make our supporters proud, and it was a great performance.
Sean Dickson, Durham batsman:
"You must never stop believing. We might have been able to overcome a few more partners.
"We have played some amazing cricket in this competition, and we can stand proud.
"There are great things ahead. "Some of our younger players really stood up for themselves."
