Coach Andrew Herbert said the side played the majority of the game without anyone on the bench.
“We had an injury in the first few minutes, so most of the team played an entire game … The forward really dug deep and ground it out to each other. We got out to a decent lead.”
The Sharks hit back in the second half. Despite a strong rally, DPC managed to hold on to the win.
“We started to run out of legs toward the end and get within two points. It was a really great effort from the boys. All the forwards played really well. They shared the workload around a lot, which really helps.”
The senior side finished 40 – 8 against Tullibigeal Lake Cargelligo. Next week will see them take on West Wyalong at home.
