Sharks v Hastings Match Report from Paul H

Sharks Travel to Hastings
Sunday 11th November saw a depleted Sharks Team head to Hastings.
Tim was sunning himself in Mauritius or somewhere equally exotic which meant that Jan had to play out of place and take the role of opposite.
With 15 mins until the 1st set we were still waiting for John and Eber to find the location and Paul was looking at his watch.
With the mighty 6 Sharks finally in place and ready to take the court the match began.
The Sharks were asleep for the first set and were played off court and finished 9-25
The second set saw new vigour from the sharks and with Paul managing to get 6 serves in a row with great blocking and defending from the whole team Sharks took the set 25-15
Sharks continued to play well but Hastings stepped up a gear and began to attack in the 3rd.
Sharks lost the 3rd and 4th Sets 21-25 & 19-25.
John Gauntlet took the player of the match for his constant hitting and blocking. It was a long drive to Hastings and the Sharks were disappointed with the result. That said all the team played well and kept their heads up playing well.
Sunday 18th sees Sharks playing at home to Kings player numbers permitting.
