Home players grabbing titles

■■Glamorgan have agreed a deal to sign South Africa batsman David Miller for six NatWest T20 Blast appearances.

The big-hitting 28-year-old is due to begin his stint with Sunday’s clash against Essex and play until the game against Surrey on August 4.

Miller joins compatriot Colin Ingram at the Welsh county, having previously represented Yorkshire and Durham in the competition.

“We are delighted to sign David Miller for a six-game stint,” said Hugh Morris, Glamorgan’s chief executive.

“David is a fine batsman, with a wealth of experience in T20 cricket.” The Mixed Doubles final at the Huddersfield Open sponsored by Fruity Pot was a home shoo-in.

The 14s Boys crown went to No1 seed James Griffin from Northern, who beat Tom Horsley 6-1 7-5.

Thongsbridge player Emily Young was a winner in the Ladies Doubles with partner Rebecca Turnbull of Rawdon.

And there is local interest in the Men’s Doubles final tonight, where Thongsbridge’s Andrew Atkinson and partner James Keighley take on No1 seeds Pete Ashley and Jordan Reed-Thomas.

Ashley and Reed-Thomas won through with victories against Thongsbridge’s Ben Gudzelak and Tom Sanders (6-4 6-3), and Joe Newman-Billington and Connor Tordoff (7-5 6-7 7-5).

Atkinson and partner got through by beating John Ward and Michael Kelly 6-2 6-3 and then defeating Paul Johnson and Nick Turnbull 6-3 6-4.

For the record, the Men’s and Ladies finals will both be played at 10.30am tomorrow, when the 8 & Under tournament is also played.
