Congratulation to Luke Wiseman on his first game of Senior Rugby after playing in our u16s a couple of years ago. Then on to the big game and the Sharks opened up playing fast precision Rugby. The score quickly got out to 21-0 as we dominated all aspects of the game. Hornsby did well to keep it at that as score as many other opportunities were help up over the line. Then a few errors from us and their sharp counter attack replied to punish each one and it was 21-24 and them feeling confident. But the Sharks turned it around from there to get back to a 42-24 lead before Hornsby finished the match with a try on full time for a 42-29 result. Tries to Luke Sheridan, Daniel Aguirre-Acevedo, Max Stewart, Chad Martin (playing at 12), Matt Anderson and Jimmy Latham.
