A dominant victory over China has earned the Australian men's water polo team a bronze medal at the FINA World League Intercontinental Cup in Shanghai.
London Olympian Johnno Cotterill led the way for the Sharks with four goals in the 16-8 win on Sunday, with skipper Richie Campbell and rising star Jarrod Gilchrist also netting a treble each.
Despite the eventual winning margin, the China went shot-for-shot with Australia in the first half - the teams locked at 6-6 at the main break.
It wasn't until the third quarter that the Australians put their foot down, racing out to a four-goal lead and restricting the hosts to just two.
They sealed the win with another four goals in the final term.
