Power juniors conquer the Lions’ den

UNDER 10S

The Kiama Power under 10s travelled north on Saturday to the Wollongong Lions "den".

Game day captain Jake Heffernan showed that the best way to tame a lion was with solid defence.

At half time Kiama had not scored, but the Power's third quarter was their best of the season.

Great team work saw Jack Lawrence kick four goals and Ben Howitt three in a seven-goal blitz that gave Kiama the lead at three-quarter time.

Wollongong threw everything at the Power in the fourth quarter, but stalwart defence from Charlie McDonald, Callum O'Toole and James Balding kept Kiama in front.

The Lions tasted defeat for the first time this season, with The Kiama Downs Takeaway man of the match was Zac Steele.

Final score: Kiama 8-2-50 defeated Wollongong 5-6-36.

UNDER 13s

The combined Shellharbour and Kiama under 13s took on an under strength Dapto at Jock Brown Oval in Shellharbour.

The Power Swans kicked eight goals to one in the first quarter in a sign of things to come.

The home team ended up kicking 20 goals in a merciless display, winning the game easily 20-19-139 to 3-5-23.

Everyone played well, displaying accurate passing to strong leads and a fierce determination at the ball.

Stella Calderbank starred with five goals, Helena Johnson took some strong marks and kicked a goal and Ben Hoctor won countless possessions for his team.
