Season Opener Sharks V Jets


28.01.12. The Mens Sharks Team were out to prove that the opening game was no fluke. After a good start they quickly blew out to a two goal lead in the first quarter. This was then pegged back by the Jets to make it 3-3 at half time. Neither team could break away leaving the score at 6-6 at full time despite the great full length of the pool shot by Alex Bennie that went just over the bar in the last second.




 The Cronulla Sharks Mens team got their 2012 Season off to a dream start with good team work and some geat goalkeeping by Patrick Northem (below) the Sharks got out to an early lead only to be hauled back by half time.
 Chris Batty (top) and Patch Falson (above) had strong games both contibuting 5 goals between them. The win sets up the team for a promising season under the guidance of the new coach, Predrag Mihailovic. The fittness and experience from the recent camp seems to be paying off.
 Earlier in the day the Womens team accounted for the Jets 8-4. The Sharks got off to a slow start but eventually clicked into gear in the second half moving away to a comfortable win.
The Sharks fielded a very young side but guided by the more experienced girls such as Australian Stinger, Nicola Zagame (above), the younger ones, like 15 year old Lena Mihailovic (below) were able to contribute to the win.

International Test Match Series

Cronulla rise to the top. U18 State Champions.

 
Just one week after Cronulla won the Col Smee (U20) tournament, the Cronulla U18 Men’s side has put in a dominant performance to win the U18 State Club Championships at Ashfield last weekend. With 10 of the side backing up from the Col Smee tournament, the Cronulla boys played some strong water polo to remain undefeated in this competition.   Cronulla won the final against Drummoyne 13-5 – in what was a hard fought match.

The standout characteristics of the team were again their strong team work and general overall fitness. They supported each other throughout every game and remained in control of each match. Again – this shows the benefits of Predrag’s short time as the Cronulla Head Coach and is a great indicator for the future of the Men’s Program.
Uga Mihailovic was awarded the Most Valuable Player, and Cronulla had 3 players named in the Team of the Tournament (Blake, Nic B, and Uga).
The gold medal winning team are: Sam Cocokios, Uga Mihailovic, Jack Jameson, Wade Turner, Matt Schweighoffer, Dylan Holden, Nic Brooks, Blake Buckley, Zac Quinn, Kieran Brunner-Evans, Keeland Tracy, Lachlan Greer.

Cronulla State Champions

2011 Men’s Col Smee (U20) Tournament

The Cronulla Men’s U20 side has remained undefeated to win the 2011 Col Smee tournament.

It was a very even competition, and the Cronulla players had to fight hard in every one of their 7 games over the weekend. The two highlights of the weekend were the very strong defence throughout the competition and the way that the team supported each other in every game. It was even commented on by a number of players from other teams, that the real standout feature of Cronulla’s play was their teamwork. Everyone played their part.

The team is a relatively young side, and did not allow themselves to be fazed by their opposition teams who came to the tournament with impressive reputations.

The semi-final win against Balmain on Sunday morning was a great game which Cronulla won 9-6, setting them up for the final against Hunter. After a torrential downpour, they played a very tight and at times physical match, which again demonstrated a very strong defensive side with Cronulla winning 8-5. The team showed the benefits that Predrag has provided to the club in his short period as Head Coach.

Sam Cocokios was brilliant in goals all weekend and was named tournament MVP. Cronulla has 4 players (Sam C, Nic B, Blake B and Sam B) named in the NSW U20 Blues squad and 3 players (Uga M, Dylan H and Keeland T) named in the NSW U20 Waratah squad.

The gold medal winning team is: Sam Cocokios, Uga Mihalovic, Jack Jameson, Daniel Simpson, Matt Schweighoffer, Dylan Holden, Nic Brooks, Blake Buckley, Dylan Turner, Sam Baraket, Keeland Tracey, Kieran Brunner-Evans, Lachlan Greer.
