Thanks to the U8 (Fletcher, Kyah, Bonita, Azaya, Matthias) again for stepping up and supporting us, with all boys playing a magnificent game.

Next was Kanju Bamboo, then Norman Thompson, followed by Ki Pendlebury. Zac Jenkins got his hat trick and Bronson Ryan Jr finished off the day with 2 more. It was a awesome day well done team. The hardest thing is to pick player of the match because everybody played so well but Brayden Mynott got player of the match for his hard and straight running with one awesome bust up the middle which lead to a try being scored.

Coach Pitty was extremely proud to see his boys returning to their old form and focussing on playing as a team. Man of the Match went to Ryley Jenkins for a great effort in his first game as hooker and Coaches Award went to Kale Warden for strong attacking. The under 16s took on the Suburbs Cockatoos on Saturday and started out the game promising with some big runs from the forwards showing what the Sharks are capable of, but the class and speed of the Cockatoos shone through and they skipped out to a 22-12 lead at halftime.
