THE South Coast Sharks’ incredible inaugural season has been elevated further, after claiming victory at the AFL Masters Vic Country mid-season State Carnival.<\/p>\n

The Sharks took on all comers on Saturday to claim the lightning premiership-style carnival at Kialla Recreation Reserve in Shepparton.<\/p>\n

Sharks president David O’Brien said last weekend’s success was a marker of how much the club’s first season has exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n

“It was obviously a great day for the Sharks, for Vic Country football and the rest of the clubs who participated.<\/p>\n

“It is the most competitive day on the calendar for Vic Country Masters footballers aside from the National Carnival held later in the year.<\/p>\n

“But the group did extremely well to play at such a high standard during its two qualifying games and then again in the Grand Final against Melton.”<\/p>\n

Sharks captain Darren “Podge” Morrish was named best on ground in the decider, before being presented with the carnival trophy alongside his teammates.<\/p>\n

O’Brien said the club’s focus now returned to completing its season proper, with two games remaining.<\/p>\n

South Coast Sharks players will be encouraged to apply to be part of Vic Country’s National Carnival side, playing in Fremantle, West Australia from September 29 to October 5.<\/p>\n

Expressions of interest will also be sought from Bellarine and Surf Coast-based Masters footballers to take part in this year’s Eliza McGowan Cup, a friendly contest between two Masters sides representing Torquay and Anglesea.<\/p>\n

“This year’s cup will be held on Sunday, November 24 in Anglesea and we’re also looking at featuring a women’s game for the first time, so we’d love to hear from as many female footballers as possible for it,” O’Brien said.<\/p>\n

“This year’s cup is a great chance for players and families to come out and we’ll use it to create a wider celebration for local Bellarine and Surf Coast footballers as a whole, with a raft of entertainment and activities in the works.”<\/p>\n
