Cheshire Seniors v Lancashire An excellent result for the Cheshire Senior Men against Lancashire last week at a very sunny and beautifully presented Stockport Golf Club.

Some excellent golf was played throughout, with both teams competing in a friendly and sporting spirit. Congratulations to the Cheshire team, and a big thank you to Stockport Golf Club for providing such a superb venue and warm welcome. #CheshireGolf #SeniorGolf #StockportGolfClub #LancashireGolf #GolfInCheshire #CountyGolf
