BRAGGING rights were at stake as Tendring Council staff took on their Essex County Council counterparts.

It was the first clash between the teams and took place at Clacton Leisure Centre.

The match was won by the county council team, who ran out 6-3 winners.

However, it could have been a different result as Tendring led 3-2 after 60 minutes, thanks to two goals from Tom Lang and one from Chris Ball.

The real winner will be the Elena Baltacha Foundation, which will receive around £50 from the proceeds.
