The British Basketball League side, Surrey United, has been re-branded 'Surrey Scorchers' after Surrey Sports Park took ownership of the club. They have also reappointed Creon Raftopolous as coach.
Guildford's MP, Anne Milton, commended them, saying: "Basketball has had its ups and downs in Guildford but it’s great that Surrey Sports Park have taken over ownership of the club. Having been a big supporter of basketball in Guildford as a sport that attracts young people with different sporting skills, I am thrilled about this news."
