KIAMA GIRLS SOCCER BEATEN IN HISTORIC FIRST GAME

The Kiama Quarriers ladies side played their first ever game last Sunday at the Kiama Leisure Centre in front of an interested crowd. The team has only been recently formed and had never played a full game until this occasion against Shellharbour Ladies Soccer Team.  In a top display the girls were beaten 3 – 2 against a good quality opponent.  The display by the girls was all that much better when you consider that they were rocked by the resignation of their Coach last week.  He has left it late to take up an offer to Coach a men’s side in the Illawarra First Division and has left the girls in a bit of a lurch so close to the season opener next week.  Ex Kiama First Grade Coach Larry Beringer has stepped in to help the girls out until a replacement can be found.

The girls played extremely well in this game with some of them having never played a competitive match before.  Their historic first goal was scored early in the game by Nicole Petit before Shellharbour pulled them back and eventually went ahead late in the game.  Kiama’s second goal was scored by Danielle Jovanov.

Kiama were well served by Michelle Richardson in goals who pulled off a stunning save from twelve metres to push a hard drive over the bar. Haley Beringer in the midfield also had a strong game as did Danielle Jovanov who is an absolute demon tackler.  She was in everything and may well find herself with the nickname “Psycho”, for all the right reasons.  Mel Carlson was also outstanding and probably the best player on the park for Kiama.

Next Sunday the girls play their first “Official” game in the Bonny Lassie Cup at Barrack Heights Oval.  The Cup is a round robin competition and kicks off at 8.30am.

Any person who is interested in helping out with the coaching of the girls is invited to contact Larry Beringer at Kiama Sports and Leisure Wear on 42 332330.
