A TIGHT finish to the Seniors' Spring Meeting Pairs at Gosfield Lake Golf Club meant a countback was required to decide the top placings.

The event attracted 112 veterans from Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Hertfordshire for the better ball competition and following an exciting day’s golf only one point separated the first five pairs.

In first place, with 42 points, was the Warren duo of Michael Johnston and Stephen Wren, while runners-up after countback were Shaun Nettleship and Bill Luck from Ballards Gore.

The presentation of prizes was made by Gosfield captain Jeremy Paterson and a donation by competitors was made to the captain’s chosen charity, Walking with the Wounded.
