It was a historic day for the Kiama Power AFL club on Saturday, with all three grades defeating the Bomaderry Tigers at Artie Smith Oval - marking the club’s first clean sweep in almost six years.

The last time all three teams - first grade, reserve grade, and women's - won on the same day was back in 2019, making Saturday’s achievement a special one for players, supporters, and the broader club community.

“It’s good to finally get one of those days on the board,” said committee member Anthony Grady.

“It just builds on the momentum we’ve had this season. There’s been a lot of excitement around the club and some really good energy, and now it’s finally starting to show on the field.”

The day began with a narrow five-point win for the reserve grade side, followed by a strong 13-point victory for the women’s team. First grade capped off the sweep with a hard-fought 52-43 win, sealing the historic result.

“It just confirms the belief we had at the start of the season,” said Grady. “Everyone was ecstatic - not just because of the wins, but because the whole club played a part. It wasn’t just one team, it was a shared moment.”

While the club took time to enjoy the rare achievement, Grady said the focus quickly shifted back to preparation.

“On Saturday, we told everyone to just enjoy it - soak it in. It’s been such a long time. Even in the last three or four years, just getting both men’s teams to win on the same day hadn’t happened,” he said.

“But pretty much from Sunday, the message was clear - get back to business, get your bodies right, and rip into a big week of training.”

The wins marked two in a row for first grade, a third victory of the season for the women’s team, and the first win of the year for reserve grade.

Looking ahead, Kiama Power will host the Sir Doug Nicholls Round next weekend, celebrating Indigenous players and culture across AFL. First grade will face Shellharbour, the women will take on Northern Districts, and reserve grade will play Figtree.

“Shellharbour should be a great test for our first-grade boys. Both teams are pretty evenly matched so far this season,” said Grady.

“The girls had a big win over Northern Districts last time, so we’re confident there. And reserve grade will play Figtree B - we're feeling good about our chances in that one too.”
