A three-goal final term sealed the win.

Sophie Phillips was rated best-on-ground for the Tigers, while Nellie Hicks and Tennille Shirley were impressive for Kiama.
Elsewhere, The Wollongong Lions remained unbeaten at the top of the women’s ladder, with a hard-fought 2.2 (14) to 1.1 (7) win over Northern Districts.
