Unfortunately the men suffered a 4-1 defeat at home against Saffron Walden.  Dan Wilkins, who stood in as Team Captain for the day, reported 'the majority of games were really close but the visitors took their chances when we didn't. The games were played in a great spirit in difficult conditions but they were the better team on the day and we wished them well for their next match'.  The Ladies match was played away at Gosfield and Lady Captain Val  Shipp commented 'our Mail on Sunday team, Lyn, Fiona, Alice, Mandy and Mary, played a great game and were narrowly beaten by Gosfield, 3-2.  The games were all very close and played on a bright but cold afternoon on a wet, rather soggy, course at Gosfield.   Well done Ladies, you did us proud.' Val went onto thank the caddies and supporters for their help. The match results were: Lyn Fish lost 2&1 to Mel Ponsonby, Fiona Stokes won 1 up to Georgina Penketh, Alice Iron lost by 1 to Jackie Henley, Mandy Williamson won 5&3 to Debbie Eames, Mary Sail lost 2&1 to Jenny Starr.
