Sharks beat defending conference champions
The UCH Sharks travelled to Stoke to take on the defending northern conference champions, the Staffordshire Stallions. Both defences fought hard to suffocate the opposing offence for the first three quarters. The deadlock was finally broken when an interception by Gareth Wild was returned 17 yards
for the score. The 2 point conversion was punched in by Wilbur "Trip" Grant. On the ensuing kick off the Staffs returner returned the ball deep into Sharks territory but the Sharks defence stood firm. After a change of possessions Staffs finally got on the board with a six yard run by Jason Prince. The two point conversion was stuffed leaving the score at 8-6.
Despite a spirited effort this was how the score remained giving the Sharks their first win over the Stallions since 1996 and pulling one win back to leave the record at 2 wins, 6 losses and one tie.
The Sharks were supported by the ever present Sharkette's who performed and excellent half time routine. They had some help from the sideline by a handful of OAPs that we assume had escaped from some sort of local retirement home ;)
Thanks guys, your support is always welcomed :)
