GOODNIGHT: That's all from us for another day. I hope we've kept you well informed. Good luck to all our football teams in action tonight (all those I mentioned and all those I didn't) and to Walton's Tamara Melvin in the final of the BBC's Great British Sewing Bee (even if it is recorded).

Charlotte will be with all you early risers from 6.30am tomorrow and I'll join you again later on. Have a lovely evening.

Tamara Melvin from Walton who is appearing in the new series of The Great British Sewing Bee
 

TELEVISION: If you're looking for something to watch tonight why not tune in to BBC Two at 8pm to find out if Tamara Melvin from Walton can take The Great British Sewing Bee title.

Mrs Melvin, who is also a yoga teacher, said: “I watched the programme last year and thought 'I could do that' – and do a better job.

Tamara makes her own clothes and her family’s - including pieces for daughter Lily, nine, and son Charlie, seven - from recycled materials, a trend that has seen a revival in recent years.

FOOTBALL: Not long until kick off at Grimsby. A win tonight for Woking and they could be right in the play-off race for league football next season. Thanks to Rory MacPherson for getting in touch.

TRAVEL: We've just heard that the accident on the A31 Guildford Road westbound in Runfold involved three vehicles and there is now an oil spill on the road. One lane is closed and there are delays in the area so allow a bit of extra time for your journey.

PEACHES GELDOF: A reminder of one of our top stories. GuilFest director Tony Scott has expressed his sympathy to Bob Geldof after the death yesterday of his daughter.

The Boomtown Rats are due to perform at the festival this summer.

WEATHER: It could be frosty tonight for those of you in the more rural parts of the county and there might even be a touch of mist around in the morning. It should hopefully clear up during the day with some sun turning to cloud later and highs of 14C.

CRICKET: It's stumps at the Oval with Surrey on 50-2 in their second innings - a lead of 121 over Glamorgan. If it stays dry, things could get interesting on the final day tomorrow.

FOOTBALL: Walton & Hersham and Walton Casuals are both at home in Ryman League action tonight, the Swans taking on Folkestone Invicta and Casuals hosting Whitstable.

Met Police are playing Wingate & Finchley in the semi-final of the London Cup and Godalming Town are heading to Bristol-based Paulton Rovers in the Calor Gas League.

A quick mention of Chelsea too and their team of Elmbridge-based superstars who are looking to overturn a 3-1 deficit against PSG in the Champions League quarter final at Stamford Bridge.

6.31pm
Oliver Florence

FOOTBALL: It's a big night for Woking as they look to extend their remarkable run in the league to seven wins in a row up at Grimsby.

With six games to go, our reporter David Stubbings here thinks they can still make up a seven point gap and sneak in to the Skrill Premier play-offs.

What do you think? Drop us a tweet Cards fans at @getsurrey with your predictions.

TRAFFIC AND TRAVEL: Back to the roads now and it's slow southbound through Guildford at the Wooden Bridge.

There's also been some sort of an accident on the westbound A31 Guildford Road in Runfold, about half a mile before the Shepherd and Flock roundabout.

We'll keep you posted when we know more.

INS Jesse Quincey has been named locally as the teen who died at Horley railway station
 

TRIBUTES PAID: Friends of a teenager who died last night after falling on to train tracks at a station in the east of the county have spoken of their loss.

Jesse Quincey was killed in what British Transport Police has described as a "tragic accident" at Horley station.

The mother of one of the 15-year-old's friends said: "He had an outstanding personality and he was always there for his friends to talk to. He was always laughing.

"Despite everything he had been through in his life, I have never seen that boy sad."

FIRE: A cautionary tale now if you are planning chips for tea tonight with this story of a man who ended up in hospital after trying to cook a steak fondue dinner.
