Sharks lose a 5 Set Thriller!

The Sharks welcomed Ross to the team for his first match of the season where he played through the middle with Paul and Tim setting. Jon played through the middle with Eber and Luis through the outside. Despite the different line up the Sharks started well securing the first two sets with relative ease thanks to some strong hitting from Jon and generally good team play from everyone. Adur Panthers changed things around and played a new opposite who looked liked he had played at a higher standard before and they secured a close third set. The Sharks worked hard and took the fourth set to the wire, but were unable to close it out and the match move to a final 5th set. The Sharks could not have started the set any worse and at the turn around they had failed to win a single point. Strong words in their second timeout and the Sharks started to put up a strong fight and put Adur under pressure. They managed to secure 11 points before Adur won the set which just went to show what they could have achieved if they had started the set with the same fighting spirit. Jon secured MPV and Ross had a good start through the middle where aggressive blocking and good off speed hits to the corners won the team many points.
