Another Strong Second Half Performance from Young Sharks Despite another excellent second half performance, a depleted Sharks team couldn't repeat their comeback of 2007, against the Cardiff Demons last Saturday. At short notice, coach Jon Ellis was forced to pull on the red jersey, along with Demons replacement Wayne Williams, who has played for the Sharks in previous seasons. Thereforee, Therefore, with only 14 players, the Sharks found the first half difficult with the Demons running in three tries in quick succession. However, the Sharks still looked good with ball in hand, and tries from new players Joe Beddow and Dylan Evans, got the Sharks on the scoresheet. The first half ended 34-10 to the Demons, following additional tries from Kyle Blake and a second try from Shane Goddard. Click here, to read about the Sharks second half fightback... |

| Strong Showing at Scott McRorie 9s... A new look Sharks team put in some great performances at the Scott McRorie 9s, held at Aberavon Green Stars RFC, on Sunday 11th May. Several new players, including Christiaan Roets, Matthew John and Nathan Jenkins, joined Sharks regulars like Jonny Griffiths, Alan Pope and Dai Norman, to put down a marker for the coming Conference season. Grouped with the Steelers, the Tigers and Aberystwyth Uni, the Sharks, who were displaying their brand new kit for the first time this season, got off to a flying start against the students with a 24 - 0 victory, with some fast paced, flowing rugby. The students struggled to live with the Sharks, with several of their first team players unavailable for the tournament and following some unfortunate injuries, they had to withdraw from the competition. The Sharks then went on to beat the NPT Steelers, who had already lost to a well drilled Torfaen Tigers team. That set up a mouthwatering group showdown between the Sharks and the Tigers, and although both sides knowing they had already qualified for the semi finals, there was certainly no let up here. Once again, the high standard of rugby continued throughout this game, and the Tigers looked as though they were going to seal it when they went 22 - 14 ahead. However, the Sharks fought back, and, in the heat of battle, both sides claimed victory at the final whistle. Amongst the confusion, It was later confirmed that the game had been drawn at 22 - 22. The Tigers went through as group winners, due to a greater points difference. That meant the Sharks were to face holders Cardiff Demons in the Semi Finals, who were winners of their group, containing Newport Titans and the Valley Cougars. Again, the two sides were evenly matched, and as the match approached full time, the Sharks led 14 - 10. However, two late tries for the Demons sealed for the holders, who also avenged their defeat by the Sharks, at Furnace United RFC in 2007, with this victory. In the other Semi Final, the Tigers went through against the Titans, to set up the Final with the Demons. In the Plate Final, the Valley Cougars triumphed over the NPT Steelers. The Cardiff Demons eventually ran out convincing winners over the Torfaen Tigers 28 - 10 and held on to the Scott McRorie 9s trouphy for another year. Final word goes to the Sharks for an outstanding 9s tournament, with many stand-out performances - well done boys, keep it going for the rest of the season! |
