Surrey completed their senior Home Counties League programme with a 126-119 victory over Buckinghamshire at Croydon.

However, it took some late rallies from several of Surrey’s rinks to claim victory after Bucks had dominated the middle of the match.

Martin Simpson’s rink came from 13-3 down after 10 ends to win 24-14.

Surrey top the table having won their three home games and lost their three away games, but their likely finishing position once other matches have been played is third.

Rink 7: Surrey Matthew White, Adam White, Simon Greenwood, Martin Sampson 24 Bucks 14. 8: Mike Blake, Peter Pickett, Nigel Chapman, Jeff O’Leary 17 Bucks 18. 9: Ted Barlow, Stephen Spencer, Mike Sigamoney, Graham Vigor 24 Bucks 16. 10: James Cooper, David Miller, Gareth McDonagh, Dave Clark 22 Bucks 14. 11: Phil Burge, Peter Hunt, Paul Bennett, Lee Dickson 27 Bucks 20. 12: Michael Rejman, Bernie Pedersen, Andy Dawkins, Paul Chuter 12 Bucks 37.
