Kiama Quarriers lost its unbeaten record going down 2-0 against Helensburgh Thistle at the Rex Jackson Oval in its IFA District League game last Saturday. It was Thistle's first win of the season after drawing its two previous games, but the forwards constantly threatened Kiama's goal and had keeper, Tony Ristevski, to thank for the low margin.

Steve Dick returned from suspension and with Tommy Mayes out injured Billy Sterjovksi started his full debut. But Kiama didn't have many chances and Sterjovksi and James Mortimer up front were always toiling against a well-organised defence. For all their efforts in the first half, Helensburgh could not capitalise on its advantage and the teams went in level at 0-0.

In the second half, Helensburgh opened the score and started to dominate proceedings. But Gary Vian came close for Kiama and Mortimer missed a sitter before the second goal killed the game off for a disappointing Kiama performance.

In the Reserves, James Spence opened the scoring for Kiama, but then Helensburgh hit back hard with eight unanswered goals.

The Youth Grade faired better losing by the odd goal in a closely fought 2-1 game. Michael Reminis scored for Kiama.

This weekend, second place Kiama meet winless Bellambi in The Quarry and coach Hernandez will be hoping for a vast improvement in his charges.
