Big ask for under 21s

14 Sep 17 15:27 by Rob Otto (robdylan) | 9 Comments

It’s now the third week of their campaign and the easy ride for the Sharks under 21 side comes to an end. Having banked decent bonus-point wins against the Kings and Leopard in their first two games, this week it’s the mighty (and table-topping) Bulls that lie in wait for Paul Anthony’s side. […]

I hate lost opportunities and while all the talk this week is regarding how the Bulls “wanted/needed it more” at Kings Park this last weekend, the stark reality is that the only team who had anything real to gain from Friday’s game was the home side. […]

Bloody awful weekend

There really wasn’t a lot to get excited about this weekend if you’re a Sharks fan, with the Bulls enjoying somewhat of a mini renaissance and beating our team twice in the two fixtures played. […]
