Sharks get Bond euro boost
October 2, 2002

Zurich Premiership side the Sharks have been given a boost ahead of their Heineken Cup debut with the news that Aussie speedster Graeme Bond will arrive on October 9.

Bond is eligible to play in this season's Heineken Cup but exactly when he will make his debut is still a matter for coach Jim Mallinder.

The Sharks entertain French side Bourgoin at Heywood Road on Friday 11 October.

There had been fears that the former Brumbies star would be ruled out the opening rounds of Europe's premier club competition because he wouldn't be registered in time.

But Bond's Australian club Manly failed to qualify for the Finals of the New Tooheys Cup which meant he was released to join the club in time.
