1906 saw another busy season for the Glamorgan cricketers with fixtures once again with Northumberland and Durham. The Welsh county recorded home and away victories against their north-eastern opponents, with Norman Riches making an unbeaten 178 against Northumberland at the Arms Park whilst Harry Creber claimed 23 wickets in the wins over Durham at Sunderland and Cardiff.

Riches and Creber both appeared in the South Wales team in their next high-profile match against the West Indians. But ,unlike the game the previous year with the Australians, the weather could not save the Welsh side from a heavy defeat as the men from the Caribbean romped to a 278-run victory.
With Sam Lowe, William Russell and Herbie Morgan having all retired from county cricket, Jack Brain resurrected the fixture against a Colts XXII, but few of the youngsters looked up to playing in the higher standard with the correspondent of the Western Mail “any talented youngsters were conspicuous by their absence.”
