The Helensburgh Tigerlillies showed all the grit and determination they’re renowned for in taking out the Illawarra Women’s League premiership with a decisive 40-24 victory over the reigning premiers Corrimal Cougars at Sid Parrish Park on Saturday, September 26.
Candice Woodward was named Player of the Match after her two-try performance.
It was a great effort all-round by the whole team – and their hard-working supporters – and it was a fitting end to a very disrupted footy season.
Congratulations to all Helensburgh Tigers and Tigerlillies for making the most of 2020.
Helensburgh was one of only two clubs to field five teams this season.
Congratulations to all of our award-winners for 2020.
