The 2013 County Championship is almost upon us.
Hertfordshire open their Bill Beaumont Cup defence with a visit to Kent, who have been promoted from Division Two South.
Their strong squad which won the title for the first time last year will be looking to repeat their Twickenham success, when they beat Lancashire, who themselves were looking for a fourth consecutive title.
The elongated winter has seen a backlog of fixtures accross the National Leagues, with the 4 May seeing an almost full programme of fixtures clashing with the first weekend of the Bill Beaumont Cup fixtures, while 11 May sees a further five league fixtures rescheduled.
The importance of the County Championship will be diminished even further as a result of this, and with four Yorkshire sides in action on 11 May, it will be interesting to see what squad is prepared for the White Rose visit to Fylde for their clash against old enemies Lancashire.
For followers of the traditional county game, the month of May will whet the appetite, so here's to another great competition.
