Another day of mixed results for the Senior Sharks. Wins to the Womens 7s and 2nds, while 1sts and u19s missed out. At Ourimbah the u19s were behind early and an injury to an opponent meant the game was called off when they were behind 3-14. I believe the Ourimbah player was treated by the ambos and should be fine, which is good news. Reece Piepers kicked the penalty. No points this week due to the short game. At a very cold Hornsby the Women's 7s continued to improve and secured bonus point wins in both games. The first was 34-5 with tries to Elana Withnall (2), Taylah Welsh (2), Inge Visser & Summer Witt - Summer and Inge each kicked a conversion. In the second match tries to Elana Withnall (2), Mýa Harvey, Inge Visser & Taylah Welsh, Inge landed 3 conversions. On the day 1pt Ally Woutersz & Taylor Bateman (in her first game in the Opens), 2pts Taylah Welsh, 3pts Jessie Jensen with Taylah Welsh the players player. Seconds was really tight game, at half time we had 10-7 lead and a late penalty took it out to a 13-7 victory. Tries to Nathan Pickup & Matt Peebles with Rob Magrath kicking the penalty. 1pt Rob Magrath, 2pts Tim Newton, 3pts Joshua Fash Meadham & Kyle Oakes (who found himself out in the centres), Players player was Joshua Fash Meadham. First grade faced a much improved team who seemed to score every time they were given a chance, while we had difficulty getting the points to match our possessions. It was 0-19 at half time and soon after 0-26. Our team fought hard and at one point it seemed a victory was possible. But that wasn't to be and at full time it was 19-31. A big highlight was a special guest appearance by backs coach Lenny Beckett as we needed a replacement centre. First touch and the old fast feet were at work and he was in for a try. Unfortunately his calf didn't like him reaching top speed and it went while he was still 5 metres out and battling the defence, but great effort to force his way over. The other tries to Shaun Townsend & Mitchell Jacob with Shaun Townsend drop kicking two conversions. For the second week in a row Liam Donsworth took the 3pts and players player - he is playing exceptional rugby at the moment - and you can be sure he will keep improving to even higher levels. 2pts Shaun Townsend and 1pt Tom Russell on his return to first grade. Congratulations to Jobe Graham & Finn Flaherty on making their first grade starting debuts on the wings. Next week Juniors have their school holiday bye and all our Senior teams are home at Sharkpool. Everyone playing Ourimbah except the u19s who face Woy Woy.
