Last Updated on Thursday, 29 July 2010 01:54

The D. Park Red Sharks has continued with their try scoring feisty with a 68-6 defeat over the GC Foster Angels at the GC Foster College on July 10, 2010. The RedSharks rest eight of their first team players to look at various combinations and to experiment with players who have been out of the squad for a while. The game got off to a fast start with the GC Angels completing impressive 3 sets before the Sharkies could comfortably get their hands on the ball.

The Angels were quick and decisive and they made some telling runs through the RedSharks defense in the early exchange. Having not scored however lead to their frustration and the Sharkies used this to their advantage as they opened the scoring through impressive schoolboy debutant Fabian “Tino” Turner. Turner ran unto a long pass from scrumhalf Roy Calvert before turning his opponent inside out to dive over the tryline to score his first of what is hoped to be many 4 pointers throughout his career.

The Sharkies continued to dominate the half through telling runs from bad boy Ricardo Bair and the ever improving Damion Clarke. Constant drop balls however prevented the RedSharks from totaling pulling away during the first half. The GC Angels got one back after one of their many speedsters pounced on a wayward pass and sped 50 metres for their only try of the match.

The second half was much of the same as Andre “Reido” Redi and Turner got their hat tricks and Ryan “National” Grant got his second brace in as many games.

“The scoreline doesn’t reflect the competitiveness of the GC Angels team”, said Sharks skipper Calvert after the game. “They are a real intense team and they put us under a lot of pressure which resulted in us knocking on the ball more than usual, against a more experienced team we would have suffered”.

RedSharks open with a bang

Last Updated on Tuesday, 27 July 2010 20:52

The D. Park Red Sharks began their season on a high by downing the Olympic Angels 60-0 in a very entertaining match at the Sharks Den in Duhaney Park. Over 200 spectators were on hand to witness this comprehensive victory.

The first match in the opening round of the 2010 JRLA competition did not disappoint as there was a host of big hits and amazing runs in the first 20 minutes. It took both teams a while to settle into their respective game plans as the O. Angels especially through ex RedShark, Jade Harris, kept the defense honest with some big runs up the middle. National speedster Robert “Gary C” Rodney kept asking questions of the defense with some quick runs around the ruck area.

Once the RedSharks got settled however it was difficult for the O. Angels to contain them and the first try after 20 minutes to Ryan “National” Grant set the pace for a wonderful offensive display. Romain Campbell and Damion Coley started to put some serious pressure on the O. Angels midfield which they were never able to recover from. The RedSharks kick on from then with tries coming at regular intervals with the Angels struggling to keep up.

All in all it was a good display by both teams which was well appreciated by the crowd on hand. The RedSharks next assignment will be on June 10, 2010 against new comers GC Foster Angels.
