South Wales cricket team

A South Wales cricket team played only one first-class match. This was in 1912, against the touring South Africans at Swansea. The tourists won the game by 230 runs.[1] There were other matches between South Wales and touring teams but these were not classified as first-class matches. There were also a few South Wales v North Wales matches.

Previously there had been the South Wales Cricket Club which was formed in 1859 but lasted only until 1886.[2] Some leading players from the West Country played for the club, including W. G. Grace in a match against the Gentlemen of Sussex in July 1864.[3]
