Shark Silulu shines

Stuart HortonWeekend Kwinana Courier

WINGER Vincent Silulu crossed for a club record nine tries in Rockingham Coastal Sharks' massive 86-24 victory over Kalamunda Bulldogs at Franklin Offshore Sportsplex last Saturday.

The win secured third spot on the ladder at the end of the regular season, with the Sharks to play off with North Beach Sea Eagles tomorrow afternoon in a do or die semi final clash.

The thumping win allowed the Sharks the freedom to try new combinations and plays ahead of the finals, and it paid dividends as the Sharks ran in 16 tries to four, with Silulu's nine taking him past the previous club record of seven tries in a single match.
