THE rain helped Worcestershire hang on for a draw in their Second Eleven Championship match against Glamorgan at Abergavenny yesterday.
Facing a victory target of 214 in 44 overs, they were 154-9 off 43.1 when the weather intervened.
Glamorgan began the last day on 178-5 -- a lead of 163 -- and finally closed on 228-9.
Jonathan Hughes made 75 off 105 balls, hitting 12 fours. The County's most productive bowler was medium pacer Dominic Williamson who took 4-23 off 15 overs.
Worcestershire's original target was 214 in 48 overs which was reduced to 44 overs because of rain.
Nick Boulton, who made 58, and Williamson (39) put on 71 for the third wicket and at that stage their side were 109-3.
Three run outs, however, contributed to their decline and in the end the County were grateful to avoid defeat.
