Surging Serbs sink Sharks

AUSTRALIA have lost to Serbia 15-5 in the quarter-finals of the men’s world championships in Hungary.

The Sharks were outsiders for the clash in Budapest and struggled early to be three goals down at quartertime before trailing 8-3 at the break.

Australia had no answer to world No.1 Serbia, who extended their lead in every quarter to be seven goals up by the final change.

The Sharks, ranked ninth in the world, will face Italy today in their bid to finish as high as fifth.
