Surrey made it nine wins from county friendlies this season with a 119-93 victory over Norfolk, at Croydon, followed two days later by a 119-112 success over Kent at West Wimbledon.

Surrey won on five out of six rinks against Norfolk on a memorable occasion for Jim Green, who was backing his 300th appearance since starting his Surrey bowling career against Kent in 1986.

To mark the occasion, he was presented with a plaque and a gift by county president Aga Hassan, who also presented a county badge to Colliers Wood’s John Scarfe.
