The Australian cricketers gained their second victory over a county side here today when they beat Glamorgan by an innings and eleven runs. But Glamorgan made a fight of it.

Wooller went soon after for 70 which included nine boundaries.

The Australians were held up ogin by the seventh pair Joha Pri rester and Don Ward who put Pressdive on 00 84 minutes,

Chief reason for their displeasure is the suggestion that a slice of the all-Manchester United v. City-Charity Shield match receipta should be set aside for the Olympic Soccer Fund.
