Richmond Park’s excellent run in this year’s Clapham Common Platinum Shield & Ellis Cup finally came to an end in the Area Final, when we came up against the strong team from Hoebridge A.
It was a close match that we only narrowly lost 220- 211. This has been by far our best performance in this NAPGC event for the past few years and perhaps a stepping stone for the future, with several new team members and pairings blooded this year.
