I'd like to congratulate two outstanding local football teams that have done my electorate proud. The Lilli Pilli Under 16 Girls, who were crowned Football NSW's champion of champions. They won their local comp and the state cup too. I like to congratulate Carla Sparkes, Isabella Paterson, Isabel Adams, Zara Tindall, Caris Troy, Kayla Babington, Juliet Allsopp Lander, Emeline Bourke, Ruby Street, Scarlett Hoerr, Poppy Hulbert, Laura Sutherland, Scarlett Macartney, Ava Degnan, Haylee Hanly and Shaleah Field. Congratulations also to coaches Brad Penfold and Kory Babington and team manager Kane Bourke.
I would also like to acknowledge the under-13 boys from Lilli Pilli, who, heartbreakingly, went down in extra time 2-1. Well done boys. I also acknowledge the Caringbah Redbacks Football Club, who claimed the under-21 men's champion of champions crown. Well done Liam Page, Jackson Greck, Jackson Fox, Aiden Fielder, Mitchell Backhouse, Jordan McAllister, Luca Alegria Ferreria, captain Luke Cutcliffe, Luca Stonestreet, Andreas Panas, George Michael, Cody Beak, Nicholas Plakias, James Riach, Tyler Slattery, Cooper Higgens, Thomas McLachlan and Luka Oliveri, coach Scott Greck and team manager Steven Backhouse. You are champions in every sense of the word. Congratulations.
