War of the Counties

Get down on bended knee and pledge allegiance to the County of your choice.

Played by 18 countries across Wales and England, 1^st Class county cricket provides year round entertainment for cricket fans up and down the country.

Beginning back in the 18^th century, the first known inter-county smackdown took place in 1709, before a full-fledged County Championship came to being in 1890.

Inter-county cricket was all the rage in the 1700s. Popular teams like Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, Surrey and Sussex reigned supreme, and often went up against various All-England teams.

Luckily, our thirst for the sport never waned and county cricket continues to this very day.
