THE PETER UNGLESS KNOCK-OUT SHIELD
EMBER WON THE SHIELD IN 2019, WERE LOSING SEMI-FINALISTS IN THE 2021 COMPETITION BUT REDEEMED THEMSELVES IN 2022 WITH ANOTHER WIN.
However, it was a different story this year with Ember drawn against a strong Sutton side who went on to win 37-27 with Ember getting a consolation win on one rink. Still, there’s always next year!
