AFTER a foggy cold start, the sun shone and the weather improved which encouraged an excellent turnout for this year's pre-Christmas Seniors Foursomes at the Essex Golf and Country Club.

In second place, with 41 points, were Cliff Wagdin and Martin Kehoe but the overall winners, with 42 points, were Adrian Grubb and Brian Nicholas.

Nearest the pin in two shots on the par four fourth hole was Roger Springett.
