Sharks fight back to gain revenge on reigning premiers Pool Pirates

Leah Dodd led the way for the victors with five goals, while Phebe McLeod, Jodie Millett and Brooke Dickie all scored two each.

Abi Sexton and Chelsea Isaac both scored three goals, with two from Ryleigh Hogan and Tegan Miles.

In the other A-grade women's match, Albury defeated Northside/Wodonga 10-6.

Co-coach Lucy McInnes starred for the victors, while Ally Christie top scored with three goals for her side.

Northside/Wodonga youngsters Bec Madew and Lalia Bell also put up a good fight.
