It was the vice-captain’s team who took the honours this year in the annual seniors captain v vice-captain match at the Essex Golf and Country Club.

In the Hambro-format match, where points are awarded for holes won or drawn in each match, the captain’s team’s tally of 149.5 points was eclipsed by the vice-captain’s 160.5.

Nearest the pin on the seventh hole was new seniors member Steven Burnett.
