That Essex have won the County Cricket Championship 7 times, and that could well be 8 in a week's time.
That means that only Lancashire, Middlesex, Surrey and Yorkshire have won the title more times than Essex, which is pretty remarkable given that Essex's first championship win was in 1979. The only county to have won their first championship more recently than Essex is Durham and they have only taken part in the even since 1992. I'm quite surprised that Essex has won the title more often than Kent. That actually makes Essex the most successful county at real cricket over the past 40 years.
Three counties have never won the title: Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire and Somerset. If Essex don't win their 8th title next week, Somerset will have won their 1st.
