For the first time in its history, Kiama Hockey Club has seen all four of its women’s teams qualify for the grand final this weekend.

The women’s fifth, fourth, third, and second-grade teams will all compete for the championship on Saturday at the Illawarra Hockey Centre in Unanderra.

"I believe this is the first year that Kiama has had all of its women's teams make it to the grand final, and it's also one of our biggest years in terms of female player numbers," said Kiama Hockey Club committee member Emily Wright.

Wright admits that, at the start of the season, she never could have predicted such a historic outcome.

"If you’d told me at the start of the season that all four teams would be in the grand final, I would've been flabbergasted," she said. 

"I’d have said it would be a dream come true. But everyone’s worked incredibly hard and been really committed. The spirit within the club has been amazing, and we’re all looking forward to a great day on Saturday."

Wright believes that 2025 has been a breakthrough year for the club, with players making a concerted effort both on and off the field.

"Everyone’s been really dedicated, attending training every week, and our coaches have put in a lot of effort. But there’s been a big focus on having fun, coming together as a team, and supporting each other. I think that’s the secret to our success," she said.

The third and fifth-grade teams finished the regular season as minor premiers and have been dominant throughout the year.

"They’re the favorites for their grand finals, but our second and fourth-grade teams, though they haven’t been as dominant during the season, ended up second on the ladder,” she said.

“They’ve peaked at the right time, so hopefully we can secure all four wins.”

All four women’s teams will take the field at the Illawarra Hockey Centre on Saturday, September 20, with the first game kicking off at 8:50 am.

With a majority of the games being contested by Kiama teams, local community support could go a long way in helping to secure four Kiama premierships.
