More than 80 players, family and friends attended the event at the Kiama Leagues Club, with Kieran Poole, Matt O’Brien, Kristi Pan and Alana Glasson from the Kiama Senior Knights presenting the jerseys to the players.
On Saturday, the Under 11-1s will take on Albion Park Oak Flats at Ulladulla Sporting Complex at 12.15pm.
According to Co-Coach Ben Wilson, the team have trained well over the last two weeks and are looking forward to the challenge of taking on Albion Park again.
"We will need to step up to another level for the Grand Final. As defending premiers, Albion Park will be keen to keep hold of the trophy but the boys know what it takes and are up for the challenge,” he said.
“Irrespective of the outcome tomorrow, Shane and I, as well as all the parents at the Kiama Junior Knights are extremely proud of this team. They have overcome a lot and worked hard to earn a spot in the grand final."
Shortly after, the Under 12 Girls League Tag team will play Stingrays Green at 1.35pm.
According to Coach, Cindy Brookfield, there has been a lot of excitement leading into Saturday’s big game.
"The girls have loved all the extra activities and fun training sessions over the last two weeks,” she said.
“The Junior Knights Committee and Kiama Senior Knights have been fanastic in their support for the team.
“The girls have had a great season and are working hard on our game plan. I have no doubt they will do their best tomorrow and hopefully we come away with the win!"
Good luck to the Kiama Junior Knights!
