In a tough day away for the Sharks against APIA Leichhardt Tigers only the second placed 13s were able to pick up a win. They remain on the same points as top of the table Blacktown City Demons but trail by 8 on goal difference.
The Sharks 16s picked up a point against APIA Leichhardt with a one all draw but were expected to do better. The Sharks are in second place while their opponents are languishing in 13th spot.
The 18s also had an unexpected result losing 1 nil to the 11th placed Tigers. This caused the 18s to drop out of the top 5 as a St George Saints win (over Bankstown) saw them leapfrog the Sharks.
Although well out of play-off contention in 12th spot the Sharks 14s had a good nil all draw against their more fancied Tigers opponents (5th).
Results for July 21 games against APIA Leichardt Tigers at Lambert Park were:

Sharks U14 drew nil all
Sharks U15 lost 2 - 1
Sharks U16 drew 1 all
