Kiama Mixed Opens have won a NSW State Cup title in their first tournament playing together.
Filled with a number of star players from the south coast, the Kiama side decided to change things up ahead of the 2019 tournament.
“It’s actually the first time we’ve come to a tournament together and played as a Mixed side,” captain Tom Atkins told Oztag Australia.
“Most of us have come from playing men’s or women’s so it’s awesome to get the win.”
After dropping just one of their six pool matches, Kiama defeated Penrith and St George to book a match up with Souths in the final.
Little separated the two sides for the majority of the first half, before Kiama showed their class in the final stages and raced away to claim a 5-1 victory.
“We always knew it was going to be tight and it took us until late in the game to push ahead,”Atkins said.
“Souths have been one of the better mixed sides for a number of years now so to beat them in the final is pretty special.”
After getting their first taste if mixed Oztag, Atkins said the team were keen to stick with the division and claim more silverware in the years to come.
“It’s probably a little bit slower than mens, although that game probably wasn’t. You need to work as a team more, particularly in defence and we did that really well today.”

Tamworth Boys 20s have broken through to win their maiden NSW State Cup title, taking out the division two final on Sunday in Coffs Harbour.
After a tight start, the Taipans showed their class in the second half and raced away to claim a 5-2 victory over Baulkham Hills.
“It’s great to finally win a State Cup, we’ve come close before but never quite got there so it’s good to get the monkey off our back,” Tamworth captain Jackson Shape told Oztag Australia.
“We added a few young guys to the group this year and they added a lot. The win will give us all plenty of confidence that we can match it with all the other teams.”
Sharpe said the side would happily move up into the division one tournament next year.
“We’d probably prefer to play in div one. After this I think we’ll all have the confidence to take on the best teams next year.”
Sharpe said Oztag is going from strength to strength in the Country Music captain of Australia.
“Oztag is huge in Tamworth. I think we’ve got something like 180 teams playing seniors up here and it’s just getting bigger and bigger each year.”
After a wet Saturday, the conditions were perfect on Sunday as the grand finals began at C.ex International Stadium.
All matches on field one will be live streamed via the Oztag website.
