Friday, September 4th 2009
Sale Sharks got the new season off to a great start by defeating Guinness Premiership champions Leicester Tigers 15-12 at rain-swept Edgeley Park. Kingsley Jones's men, playing with spirit and no little bravery against their distinguished guests, won the game by five penalties to four, with Lee Thomas and Jeremy Staunton accounting for all the scoring.
Sharks fielded five debutants - Cohen, Forster, Koyamaibole, Schwalger and Kerr, whilst the impressive Gaskell started for the first time.
In the face of all pre-match predictions, it was the Sharks front row which impressed most of all, with Eifion Lewis Roberts named 'Man of the Match'.
