The Sharks hadn’t played in five weeks but quickly shook the dust off and controlled the game, leading 18-6 at half-time.
Lachlan Fitzgerald scored three tries.
Under 14s coach Grant Arnold said his team played well after such a long break.
“Jack Godfrey, Jaden Young, Jack Grant, Jack Gallen and Jake Spence had good games,” he said.
