This Sunday sees the 2008 SCAFL Grand Final being contested by the Beachside Sharks and the OC Jets. The Sharks will be looking to make it two in a row, while the Jets will be looking to exact revenge for their four point loss in last years Grand Final. The Sharks Club President (and founder) Adam Howarth will play his last game with the club.

On the Beachside Sharks site Howarth reflected on the work involved "Well, it's been a hard two years getting this club started and finding a way to get us in the position to win a second straight Grand Final. It's tough work and I couldn't have done it without the dedication of our coach, John Fragomeni, and the support of the players and their families." Howarth has played in every game for the Sharks and will be looking to go out in style before handing over the running of the club to the new President. The teams are evenly poised after both winning seven and losing two games for the season but head to head the Sharks are 2-1. On the back of this and the fact that they are the reigning champions, the Sharks must go into the game as favorites. The Jets however have lost the last two Grand Finals narrowly and will be determined not to make it a three-peat as bridesmaids.

Kickoff will be at 12pm at Heritage Park in Irvine with the consolation final played immediately after between the LA Swans and and Riverside Raiders.
