Battling Sharks go down at home to North Bristol.

Due to holidays and injuries, Gordano U15s only had 16 players and it seemed that all 16 of them were asleep as North's big forwards set the platform for an early try.
A rollicking from Skipper Finn Murphy kick-started the match for Gordano as Zach Wall used power and footwork to score close to the posts and ever-dependable Lew Leaker added the extras.
The rest of the half settled into a pattern with North's dynamic forwards picking and driving their way to another try before a fine flowing move by Gordano's backs resulted in flyer Harrison Williams going over in the corner for a half-time score of 12-12.
North Bristol had the luxury of 10 good players on the bench who added fresh legs to the fray and they took control early in the second half by scoring twice.
However, Gordano refused to give in and tried to run the ball from anywhere. Some poor decision making meant that chances were spurned, but Zach Wall smashed his way over again to narrow the lead to nine points.
Gordano's youngsters ran out of steam and North Bristol had the last word with another try to secure a victory by 17-33.
Charlie Geary was voted man-of-the-match for his non-stop tackling, jackling and running.
