MIXED OVER 60 INTER-COUNTY

A strong Essex team battled on two fronts yesterday, with a major incident closing the M25, squad members struggled to find a clear route to Newmarket Avenue BC.  All was well when the stragglers arrived just in time for the 11.30 start.
On the green, the squad started steadily and built a strong lead, this was whittled down by a late surge by Cambridgeshire, but Essex held on for a decent 12 shot win. Full details may be found here
Well done to all of the team and to the reserves who attended in support
