Cape Town - The Sharks have kept their Currie Cup play-off hopes alive with a hard-fought win over the Golden Lions at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Sunday.
The coastal side won 30-28 after leading 20-10 at half-time and that moves them into fourth position on the log.
The Sharks scored three tries in the match thanks to co-captain Jeremy Ward (2) and Sanele Hohamba. Hohamba added two conversions and two penalties while Rhyno Smith kicked a conversion. Rookie flyhalf Boeta Chamberlain also kicked a drop goal.
The Golden Lions scored through Shaun Reynolds (2), Tyrone Green and Marnus Schoeman with Reynolds kicking a conversion and two penalties.
The Sharks now take on the Blue Bulls in Pretoria next weekend with the Lions facing log leaders, Griquas.
