In a lively local derby, the Dragons' Jersey Flegg team faced a setback, losing 30-18 to the Sharks at WIN Stadium.
The Sharks surged ahead with an early 18-0 lead, forcing the Dragons into a determined comeback effort.
This rally was sparked by tries from second-rowers Jarrah Treweek and Drew Langdon.
Despite the momentum shift, the Dragons couldn't fully close the gap; their late attempts to secure a win fell short.
The Dragons had a near-try from Isaiah Fagalilo, which was initially awarded but later overturned by the sideline official for a double movement.
Shortly after, David Afu narrowly missed out on scoring, losing the ball right before the try line.
Just before halftime, the Sharks were close to increasing their lead when prop Ben Peni was penalized for a double movement as well.
Ultimately, the Sharks managed to maintain their advantage and secure the competition points.
