Kiama U17 Girls v Tarrawanna

U17 Girls were unlucky not to record their second straight win on Sunday.  Playing with only 10 players, Kiama took the lead thanks to a classy through ball from Chiara Lyon which was expertly finished by Kim Gowland. Kiama's defence, led by the tenacious Eliza Wilcox, frustrated Tarrawanna's attack whilst a tireless Caitlin Brindley fed the attack, enabling Courtney Moon to demonstrate her many ball skills. Tarrawanna managed a few late goals but it was a determined and courageous effort by the Kiama girls.
