Defending County Champions Surrey have successfully defended their crown for a third season running. The South London side became champions for the third time in a row after nearest challengers Somerset lost to Lancashire at Old Trafford, who potentially boosted their survival hopes with such a big win.

Surrey did their part of the bargain, beating Durham by ten wickets on Thursday. The three-time defending champions Surrey, winners of the County Championship in 2022, 2023, and 2024, have become the first side since Yorkshire 56 years ago to achieve this impressive feat.

There were many stand-out performers, such as Rory Burns, the Surrey skipper who scored a 227 against Lancashire earlier in the summer and two further centuries thereafter, which helped him reach 1057 runs for the season.

Dan Worral and all-rounder Jordan Clark made telling contributions with the ball, which was crucial for Surrey’s 23rd County Championship title win. A brave man would bet against them not making it 24.
