1st Minute: Underway here and the Sharks are already on the attack just 10m out
4th Minute: Up the other end of the park the Wolves had their first opportunity with Trindall putting in a beautiful cross field kick which Sandor Earl looked to have caught but he lost it on the second attempt
7th Minute: TRY first points of the afternoon here with a 24ct gold ball from Scott Porter that found Ian James and he puts it down under the posts. Conversion successful and the Sharks lead it 6-0
9th Minute: a ripping breeze behind the Sharks in the first half here, they have already attempted a few 40-20's. Windsor's backs will need to be alert
16th Minute: not much doing at the moment with most of the game being played in the middle third. This match needs someone to grab it by the scruff of the neck
20th Minute: TRY a few errors from the Sharks gifted Windsor good field position and on the back of a nice inside ball Matthew McConnell crashed over beside the posts for the Wolves. Conversion successful and we are tied up at 6 all
24th Minute: TRY against the run of play Josh Lewis flies up out of the defensive line and jags an intercept. He runs 80m to score. Converts his own try and the Sharks lead 12-6
28th Minute: TRY Scott Porter shows and goes, has the fullback to beat.. Chips and is taken out. PENALTY SHARKS. Quick tap, spread it wide and Taulima Tautai is too big and goes over in the corner. Conversion missed and the Sharks now lead 16-6
33rd Minute: The Wolves had a full set inside the Sharks twenty but another error cost them any chance of reducing the deficit
37th Minute: PENALTY GOAL Poor discipline from the wolves gifts the Sharks a penalty right in front of the sticks and just before halftime Josh Lewis takes the two. Sharks lead 18-6
HALF TIME The end of an entertaining first half, with the Sharks leading the Wolves 18-6 at the break. Still plenty of hope for the Wolves as they will have the assistance of a handy breeze in the second period. Back shortly with all the second half action
42nd Minute: TRY intercept try to Wolves halfback Craig Trindall. Just the start the Wolves needed. Trindall converts his own goal. Cronulla 18 lead Windsor 12.
45th Minute: TRY to Windsor centre Sandor Earl. Earl continues his early season try scoring form as he crashes over out wide. Conversion by Trindall is unsuccessful. Cronulla 18 lead Windsor 16.
48th Minute: Cronulla go within inches of scoring but an unkind bounce fools Josh Lewis but Windsor knock on in the process. Cronulla are now attacking the Windsor line on tackle one. Referee Mick Laverty has blown time up and is cautioning Wolves captain Craig Trindall.
HALF TIME (Bundaberg Red Cup) Bankstown City Bulls 22 lead Campbelltown Eagles 12
52nd Minute: the game has returned to a slug fest with the majority of the match being played between the two 20 metre lines.
59th Minute: Taulima Tautai has been sent to the sin bin for repeated infringements in the play the ball. Windsor opt for the kick tap from the penalty and drop the all over the line. Windsor will again get another chance at taking the lead after the Josh Lewis touch finder goes out on the full.
65th Minute: Windsor drop the ball over the line AGAIN! They are making things hard for themselves. The Sharks now have the ball on the Windsor 30 metre line after a Windsor mistake.
68th Minute: The Sharks spill the ball and turn it over. The game is there to be won. One of these sides needs to put their hand up and claim it
71st Minute: A thumping Josh Lewis kick forces Zoram Watene to slip into touch trying to stop a certain 40/20. The Sharks can't convert and throw a forward pass on tackle four. Game still to be won here.
75th Minute: The Wolves drop the ball over the line again, this time Daniel Penese tries to catch a Trindall bomb but knocks it on the air.
A Penalty to the Sharks gives them a full set on the Windsor line.
78th Minute: TRY to fullback Jamen McLeod. McLeod has been one of the Sharks best all day and deserves the try. Conversion unsuccessful Cronulla 22 lead Windsor 16. The missed conversion could come back to cost them
80th Minute: TRY to Ryan Walker out wide with seconds remaining. Trindall to tie the game with his conversion.... he nails it. 22 all draw here at Henson. WHAT A GAME!

Thanks for that. I like to see insights into how our reserve grade teams are going. I might try to record the reply.

Does anyone know how the backs, such as Earl and Walker, are performing? As we really need to get Elford and Purtell out of first grade as they bumble around and are too slow. We need some speed, agility and passion on our left hand side of the park.

I haven't yet had a chance to watch replay taped on Foxtel IQ but Kilkenny Junior has can I say he was not too impressed.
