It was a perfect Sunday afternoon in the shire for the Sharks as a controversial Bronson Xerri try with four minutes to play saw Cronulla retain the Monty Porter Cup and keep their semi-finals hopes alive.
Cronulla climbed back into the top eight with a late 18-12 win over local rivals St George Illawarra.
More than 13,000 fans made their way to PointsBet Stadium for potentially the last derby clash between the sides in the shire until 2022.
