	County Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The County Championship is the domestic first class cricket competition in the United Kingdom, mainly in England.
		The official County Championship began in 1890, before which unofficial championships were contested.
		The unofficial championships were decided not by any numerical method but rather by popular acclaim.

	Yorkshire County Cricket Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since the Government changed the administrative borders in Yorkshire in 1974, the position of Yorkshire CCC has been that they represent the true, traditional county of Yorkshire, that is, the three ridings and the City and Ainsty of York.
		In clinching the match against Glamorgan at Scarborough in 2001 the club won its first County Championship since 1968 under the flinty captaincy of locally born David Byas (who returned in 2005 as director of cricket).
		Yorkshire CCC was famous for insisting that its players must have been born within the traditional county of Yorkshire, a rule not dropped until 1992, and Yorkshire's results suffered through the seventies and eighties as other counties raced to sign major overseas stars.

	Rugby Football Union - Latest County Championship news from the South West
		The county prop up the County Championship Shield South table, but with Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Sussex and Berkshire all level on points thanks to one win a piece, each team will have to play for their league survival this weekend.
		Somerset were last in the County Championship four years ago and Westgate is adamant that the county no longer deserves to be in the bottom tier of the tournament.
		Four years ago we were in the County Championship and maybe the reason we have dropped down the pegging order is because there hasn’t been any teams in the county playing national league rugby apart from Weston Super Mare.

		The object of the design of County Championship was to enable the replaying of a full county season.
		There are no individual players in County Cricket instead we analysed a full season's County Championship matches to obtain the average partnership of each wicket (which threw up some surprises) and then constructed a set of Partnership cards and an Appeal Chart that reproduced these stats.
		Remember that the old 3 day County Matches often required a 'contrived' finish, with or without the intervention of bad weather, and the moment to declare is often of vital importance.
