IT was the captain’s team that triumphed in this year's annual match against the vice-captain’s team at Gosfield Lake Golf Club.

Teams are drawn at random and the format is fourball better ball off full handicap, with all scores played out to 18 holes and the cumulative total deciding the winner.

At the end of an exciting contest, the team of captain Ernie Cable triumphed comfortably with his stand out teams being Andrew Farquharson and Richard Cornell with seven holes and Simon Thomas and Terry Passway with six holes.

Best team for vice-captain Graham Hurrell was Alan Furness and Roger Bramwell with six holes.
