TENDRING Volleyball Club have been crowned National Shield champions.
The Frinton-based side eased to a straight sets victory against Chelmsford’s Essex Blaze in the final in Kettering.
They proved far too strong for their county rivals, sweeping to a 25-13, 27-25, 25-20 victory at the National Volleyball Centre.
It was their second Shield success, having also lifted the silverware in 2012.
