8 4 balls and a single 2 ball played out the annual competition between teams representing the counties of Suffolk and Essex - always a competitive fixture. Despite threatening weather everyone retuned to the clubhouse surviving a few modest showers.
Always a tough competition as this is played under Hambro rules where all matches are played to the death and all holes counting.
Victory this year to the Suffolk team by 21 holes to 9.
