Sharks have ladder leaders in sight for final round of season

While the Sharks got the better of the Tigers at the Victorian clubs championships last month, it's Albury that remains the team to beat in the Ovens and Murray men's competition.

"We'll be pushing pretty hard to give them a bit of a shake," Sharks' coach Shannon Gould said.

"The boys have really improved.

"I think in our first game we lost against Albury by around 15 goals and we've caught right up through the year.

"Now we're right on their heels."

Gould got the chance to play alongside both of his sons at the championships.

Will, 16, is having a breakout year for the Sharks' senior side, having already contributed 29 goals this season.

"He's playing centre forward and he's one of our main go-to guys. He's playing really well," Gould said.
