The baby Sharks and Newtown Jets will both tackle the Raiders in cracking preliminary finals at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday, with spots in the Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup deciders on the line.

After sneaking into the finals in fifth place, Cronulla's under-21 Flegg team recorded their ninth consecutive victory by beating the Panthers 40-26 on Sunday.

Sharks NRL training squad member Michael Gabrael starred with a hat-trick.

If successful against Canberra, Cronulla will meet the Bulldogs in the big dance.

Newtown – the Sharks' feeder team – have earned a second bite at the cherry after narrowly missing an opportunity to punch their ticket directly to the NSW Cup grand final against minor premiers the Bears on the weekend, losing 18-16.

NRL rookie Sam Stonestreet scored a double, with fellow Sharks players Liam Ison, Tom Rodwell, Chris Vea'ila, Niwhai Puru, Tuku Hau Tapuha, Braden Hamlin-Uele, Jayden Berrell and Billy Burns also representing the Bluebags.

The George Ndaira-coached Jets faced the Raiders less than a fortnight ago in week one of the finals, streaking away with an emphatic 38-16 victory.

A rematch with North Sydney awaits Newtown if they can down Canberra again.

Entry is $10 (no student concession or seniors card discounts). People 12 years and under and aged pension card holders will get into the ground for free.
