The Sharks enter round seven after suffering a 42-0 loss last weekend against the Rams and will be looking to claim their second win of the season.
The Magpies enter this game after forfeiting last weekend and similar to Belconnen United will be aiming for a second win.

The Bungendore Kangaroos travel to Greenway Oval to face the Tuggeranong Bushrangers on Saturday morning.
The Bushrangers enter this weekend fresh off the bye and will be looking to claim their first win of the season.
Bungendore suffered a heavy 84 point defeat last weekend against the Gungahlin Bulls with this weekend providing the side with their best opportunity to claim their first victory.
Tuggeranong are the only other team in the Katrina Fanning Shield without a victory, setting up an exciting matchup on Saturday morning as both clubs aim for their first two points of the season.
Gungahlin Bulls vs Goulburn City Bulldogs, 12:00pm Saturday at Gungahlin Enclosed Oval
The Gungahlin Bulls return home this weekend for a matchup against the Goulburn City Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon.
The Bulls are fresh off an impressive victory last weekend against the Kangaroos and will arrive at this weekend's game extremely confident about their chances.
Contrastingly, the Bulldogs suffered a heavy defeat against the Blues away from home and will need to bounce back quickly against a strong Gungahlin outfit.
A win for Gungahlin will see them continue their undefeated start to the season, whilst for the Bulldogs a win will keep them in touch with the top four.
West Belconnen Warriors vs Queanbeyan Blues, 9:30am Sunday at Raiders Belconnen
The West Belconnen Warriors return home to face the Queanbeyan Blues on Sunday morning.
The Warriors enter this round after receiving a forfeit last weekend against the Magpies with the time off allowing them to freshen up for the toughest test in the competition.
The Blues are shaping as the team to beat in 2024 as they are yet to suffer defeat this year and last week they claimed a dominant 44-0 victory over the Bulldogs which sees them top of the table on for and against.
This match will provide the fourth placed Warriors with an opportunity to see where they rank against the best team of the competition.
