2020 Sydney Shield Premiership
In 2020, the Sydney Shield competition was suspended in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. The competition was reorganised with several clubs dropping out, and Cronulla-Caringbah and Helensburgh Tigers joining. The competition recommenced in July, with results from the one round played in March annulled. The Sharks finished the nine-round regular season in second place with six wins, two losses and a bye. Cronulla-Caringbah defeated Belrose 32-12 in an elimination semi-final at Leichhardt Oval on September 19.[1]
The Grand Final was held at Bankwest Stadium on 27 September 2020. The Sharks' opponents, Ryde-Eastwood Hawks started strongly, and went to a 26 to nil lead within the first 30 minutes of play. The Sharks responded with two converted tries in the last ten minutes of the first half, which ended with the score 26-12. In the second half, Cronulla-Caringbah scored the next two tries, narrowing the margin to 26-20. Ryde-Eastwood countered with an unconverted try to extend their lead to ten points.
