Aussie Sharks go out on a high
Published Mon 02 Aug 2021
The Aussie Sharks have finished their Tokyo Olympic campaign on a high, defeating Kazakhstan 15-7 tonight at Tatsumi Water Polo Centre.
The Sharks caused an upset in the early preliminary rounds, defeating medal favourites Croatia, but it wasn't enough to remain in the hunt for a medal of their own, suffering three losses which saw them finish fifth in their group.
Tonight's win was a confidence booster for the Australian men, who ended their campaign with two wins.
It also marked a special occasion for triple Olympian and goal keeper Joel Dennerley, who was named honorary Captain for the game after serving the last five years as Aaron Younger's vice-captain.
As the last game of the Olympics, the playing group bestowed upon Dennerely the captain duties.
