Nearest the pin winners Ernst Middl and Mike Stanley with Essex seniors captain Norman Stechman and Gosfield’s John Prynn.
The seniors at the Essex Golf and Country Club enjoyed success as they played their first friendly match of the year against Gosfield at home.
On a dry but chilly breezy morning, 32 players, playing better-ball in teams of two, battled it out for the honours.
After 18 hard-fought holes played in a very good natured manner, the result was very close with the hosts winning 4½-3½.
Nearest the pin on the par three 130-yard fifth hole was Ernst Middl for the Essex and Mike Stanley for Gosfield.
