 Telegraph | Sport | Croft ensures Glamorgan title
Croft struck 106 with 17 boundaries, and although he and Maynard were out, Glamorgan cantered to victory with 28 balls to spare with Adrian Dale, in his last season with the Welsh county, scoring the winning runs.
Lancashire were then further restricted by Alex Wharf, who conceded only nine runs from his initial five-over spell and they did not manage to reach three figures until the 27th over.
Croft however, was soon into his stride as he began with a flurry of boundaries from the opening attack.

 BBC - South West Wales - Hall of Fame
In March 1999 Croft was named in England's party for the World Cup - becoming the first home-grown Glamorgan player to feature in the competition - and went on to play in the 2000 series against the West Indies.
In 2001 he was selected for the test squad for the winter tour to India and New Zealand, but was one of the players who controversially opted not to go, in light of security fears raised by the terrorist attacks in New York and the political instability on the Indian sub-continent.
Croft surprised the cricket world in January 2004 with his decision to retire from the international game and devote all his energies to captaining Glamorgan.

Croft would have been just as delighted by the way he crashed a 35-ball 50 with 11 fours, a good proportion of those bludgeoned through the backward point region.
If Croft's third one-day hundred from 104 balls was sparkling then the quality of Maynard's 50 was not far behind as an increasingly dejected Lightning attack ran out of ideas.
Maynard and Croft departed before Glamorgan crossed the winning line, but they had done their job with the fourth wicket worth 121 in 24 overs.

 BBC News | ENGLAND V WEST INDIES | Croft reclaims Test spot
Glamorgan off-spinner Robert Croft received the news he was hoping to hear when England took the unusual step of naming their final eleven almost 48 hours before the start of the first Test against the West Indies.
Croft owes his recall to three factors - his eight wickets against the tourists at Cardiff last week, the high number of left-handed batsmen in their team and the dearth of quality off-spinners in county cricket at the present time.
His inclusion in place of Lancashire leg-spinner Schofield is the only change to the side which gave a disappointing performance in the drawn second Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge.

Iain Sutcliffe and Stuart Law continued with the stroke play as Lancashire reached 85 in the 11th over when Sutcliffe advanced down the wicket to Dean Cosker, only to be beaten by the off spinner and stumped yards out of his crease for a hard-hitting 30.

Local, ‘of Southworth’, a township in the parish of Winwick, Lancashire.
Some family members gave in and converted to the Church of England, and in turn they were disinherited and persecuted by their Catholic family members.
It is therefore plausible that non-Catholic branches of the family disassociated from the main Southworth family around this time, probably settling near the Whalley, Clitheroe and Edenfield areas of Lancashire, losing out on their inheritances and becoming poor or middle class farmers, weavers, publicans and shopkeepers.
