Chelmsford Golf Club were hosts to Thorpe Hall in the second round of the Thornton Cup.

The morning foursomes were biased towards Chelmsford well into the second nine but Thorpe Hall pulled back the deficits to finish the five morning matches three up to Chelmsford's two.

In the afternoon singles, Chelmsford won only one single from 10. Heavy showers interfered over the remaining games by which time Thorpe Hall had secured the eight matches necessary for a win.

Halves were offered and accepted in the remaining games, the final score being Thorpe Hall 101/2, Chelmsford 41/2.

The Ladies Munro team, however, kept their interest alive in their competition by beating their opponents, Rochford Hundred on an away course by one up, taking the last putt on the last green to settle the match.

The Chelmsford Golf Club entertained a team from Darmstadt Traisa, Germany at the weekend.

The game consisted of 17 matches, played over 18 holes, with aggregate points deciding the outcome. The German team was led by their vice president who presented the cup back to the Chelmsford's club captain Don Seager, after Chelmsford scored 620 points to Darmstadt Treisa's 505.

The Retired Gentlemen visited Braintree Golf Club for an away match and won 61/2 - 11/2.
