Just four weeks after earning the National League Championship title, the DMCV Sharks GU16 Elite team were crowned Far West Regional League Champions. This treasured Far West Regional League title has evaded the team for the past two years. Round 1, held in March in Chino Hills, Tuscon and San Juan Capistrano, found the Sharks attacking each team in the five games and outscoring their opponents 20 – 0. Round 2, held April 13 and 14 in Pomona, began where the team left off, scoring 5 -0 over Bay Oaks Botafogo 96 on Saturday afternoon. That night, under the lights, neighboring team Carlsbad Elite G96 came to play.

In continuous operation since 1888, the club is now headed in part by Chris Callaghan, the Director of Rowing and Junior Head Coach who has a passion for the sport.
A brutal nonleague schedule that Cathedral Catholic faced in preparation for Western League play may not have seemed like the easiest way to go at the time, but all indications suggest it helped the Dons get ready.
