Teen Norton's Debut Hat-Trick Impresses

18-year-old Tom Norton created a sensation in early May when he took a hat-trick on his County Championship debut against Somerset. The young bowler, known for his impressive beard, dismantled Somerset's top order with his aggressive pace, leading to celebrations from his Glamorgan teammates who chased him around Sophia Gardens.

Despite his impressive start, Norton's season was cut short in August when he was ruled out with a stress fracture of the back. Nevertheless, Glamorgan managed to survive their first year back in the top tier of cricket. Batters across the league will be keeping a close eye on Norton as they prepare for the 2027 season. esporist.org
