A spokesperson from the club said: "Many members of the 'Ulvie' family take part in doing Movember to help raise awareness and support for men’s mental health - which is the leading cause of death in men with statistics showing that globally on average one man dies by suicide every minute of every day.
"These games are a great way of keeping the 'Ulvie' family old and young together and a way of checking in with each other, hopefully this can continue for many years to come."
With the series now tied at 1-1, expectation is already high for what next year's match-up can bring.
