Surrey U25s’ Junior Home Counties League title hopes were virtually ended when visitors Sussex claimed an 82-82 draw with the final bowl of Sunday’s match at Leatherhead.

Surrey won on three of their four rinks, but Gareth McDonagh’s quartet suffered a 33-8 defeat.

Surrey’s best rink saw C Souter (Weybridge), O Dixon (East Horsley), B Chadwick (Guildford) and S Higginbotham (Tongham) win 30-12.

Second place is still very much up for grabs if Surrey win their final match against leaders Middlesex at Parsons Green on Sunday, August 10.

Rink 2: Surrey: S Bourne, B Cieslak, C Fox, G McDonagh 8 Sussex 33.3: R Grant, J Clarke, C Ware, A White 22 Sussex 19. 4: C Souter, O Dixon, B Chadwick, S Higginbotham 30 Sussex 12. 5: M Street, O Calder, C Sewell, M White 22 Sussex 18.
