Aussie hockey star Fowles joins Power

We are thrilled to welcome Australian hockey rep, Imogen Fowles, to the Kiama Power for season 2025.

Imogen is an elite athlete with an extensive background in indoor and outdoor hockey – including six international caps for Australia and recently returning from playing in Vienna with Post SV in the professional Austrian premier league.

Fowles has opted to take a break from the outdoor hockey season in 2025 and try her hand at AFL with the Power, before she returns to her indoor hockey duties with the Australian squad at the end of the year.

A two-time winner of the Illawarra Academy of Sport’s Hockey Athlete of the Year, Fowles has proven that she is a dedicated and hardworking athlete that continually seeks to improve her skills – which we have already witnessed at our pre-season training sessions as Imogen quickly picks up the skills of our game and displays a natural flair.

We are confident that Imogen’s work ethic will be beneficial on the AFL field, as she arrives with a natural sense to read play and an ability to contest the ball with repeated tough efforts.

NSW Community Club of the Year Finalist

We’re incredibly proud and honoured to confirm that Kiama Power is one of the six finalists vying for the title of NSW Community Club of the Year in the 2019 NSW Community Sports Awards.

To illustrate the significance of this, these awards traverse all community sporting clubs in NSW with this years other finalists coming from surf life saving, judo, motorsports, rugby union and basketball.

The presentation ceremony is to be hosted by the NSW Minister for Sport at NSW Parliament House at 6.00pm on Thursday 20 June 2019 where the winner will be revealed.

Regardless of whether we win or not, it’s a remarkable achievement to make the final six and a testament to the dedication of all those volunteers in both our Junior and Senior Clubs who make it possible for our kids to play football and who make our Club what it is.

We thank AFL NSW / ACT who, unbeknown to the Club, initiated and supported the nomination.

Changes to Youth Girls Age Groups

Following from the huge success of girls footy last season, the 2019 season will see the following girls age groups: Under 12’s, Under 14’s and Under 17’s. The Under 14’s replaces last years Under 15’s.

Kiama Power is looking to nominate teams in all these age groups so get in now and register.

In the 2018 season the girls under 12’s were played on Sunday mornings and the Under 15’s on Friday nights. In 2019 it is expected that most girls games will be played on Sundays as part of the regular Junior club fixture, with the possibility of an occasional game on Friday night.

The U14’s and U17’s will be “competition” status with games played for points and finals. Given its success last year, the U12’s is expected to remain as “development” status with modified rules, especially with the number of new girls coming into the sport for the first time.

If you have any questions regarding youth girls footy at Kiama Power, please contact Dirk Ovenden on 0467 805 188.
