The Essex Golf and Country Club are the new holders of the Norman Plum Trophy after their final win against Stockbrook Manor.

A team of 12 Essex golfers went to Colne Valley for the final of this county competition and at the end of the game, the score was locked at 3-3.

However, the rule book was consulted to establish a winner.

It said the result of the first game decided the result and given that the Essex won that match, they were awarded the trophy and winners’ medals.
