SO Ebbw Vale are through to the last eight of the Parker Pen Shield for the second time.
They managed to meet the task set for them by the incomprehensible qualification rules of the tournament and duly outscored Agen by eight tries.
An incredible achievement?
Not on your life! Take nothing away from the Steelemen for their effort and professionalism, which earned them a quarterfinal trip to Gloucester, but this was a game conceded by the visitors.
