I was born and raised in Co Durham and yesterday saw Durham County Cricket Club claim the County Championship title for a second year in a row. I am a member - although I haven't made it to a match in the last three years. I sat through some very dismal times during Durham's early years as a first-class county. Yesterday was another vindication of the faith we had. Well done to the boys and here's to next year.

You really must make the effort and get yourself down to one of their matches next year - they are really worth it!
I will try. Life is so busy at times and going to the cricket is not as easy as it used to be. Thanks for the comment.
