Well played under 21s!
On a day when there was little to celebrate, results-wise, at Ellis Park, the Sharks under 21 side stood up and delivered a great performance to record their second victory of the year over their Golden Lions counterparts.

Choices ahead of Lions visit
Gary Gold’s Sharks face their trickiest challenge to date, with the table-topping Golden Lions heading to Kings Park for this weekend’s third round Currie Cup clash. While a surprise opening-round loss to the Pumas away is probably something that can be taken in the team’s stride, one fancies that losing home games in this rather short Currie Cup season is a big no-no when it comes to knockout round qualification.
