First against second, the undefeated Jersey Flegg Sharks against a quality Panthers line up, should be a huge incentive for fans to get to PointsBet Stadium early on Thursday evening.
A match featuring two of the leading teams in the under-20’s competition, the Sharks will be looking to build on their 4-0 start to the year, while the Penrith side is sure to come keen to lower the boom on the Flegg leaders in a much-anticipated clash.
Adding to the intensity of the contest, the Sharks and Panthers met in the 2018 Jersey Flegg Grand Final, a match won by the Sharks, with many of the same players set to come together again on Thursday night.
After three lop-sided wins to start their season the Sharks were forced to fight for the points last Saturday night against the Roosters, a penalty goal late in the contest sealing an 8-6 victory.
As the scoreline would indicate, the win over the Roosters was built on another strong defensive effort, with the Sharks having conceded just 16 points in their four games so far this year.
No doubt coach Daniel Holdsworth will be looking for more of the same on Thursday night.
The Jersey Flegg Sharks and Panthers kick off at 5.20pm at PointsBet Stadium on Thursday night, with the Sharks team listed below.
