Gosfield lake's Essex County Youth Shield team of (from left) Ben Murray, Piers Halley, Joe Richards, Arron Smith and Shaw Radley.
THE juniors of Gosfield Lake Golf Club were victorious by the narrowest of margins against Rayleigh in the Essex County Youth Shield.
With one match already won against Burnham-on-Crouch the Gosfield club were hoping to build on that in the league as they hosted Rayleigh.
Gosfield Lake were quickly two down when Joe Richards lost 6&4 and Aaron Smith lost 2&1, however, the fightback by the other three players began when Ben Murray delivered a 5&4 win.
Piers Halley then had a comfortable 6&4 win to tie the match and even though the last game was close, Shaw Radley held his nerve to win two late holes to close it out 3&1 for a 3-2 victory for Gosfield.
Gosfield's remaining matches are against Frinton and Colne Valley.
