Dampier Sharks

The Sharks claimed the 2008 senior grade North Pilbara Football League premiership with an emphatic 21.12 (138) to 11.13 (79) grand final defeat of Port Hedland Rovers. It was their second flag in four years, and their fourth in total. The 2009 season saw them go back to back by means of an 8.13 (61) to 7.2 (44) grand final victory over Karratha Falcons. More recently, they qualified for the 2015 grand final but lost by 25 points to South Hedland Swans, while in 2017 they were again runners-up after going down to Wickham Wolves in the grand final by a margin of 25 points. A slight decline followed in 2018 when their bid for the flag was derailed at the first semi final stage by South Hedland Swans, while the 2019 season brought marginal improvement as the Sharks made it as far as a losing preliminary final clash with Wickham Wolves.
