Kendalls Beach played host to the Kiama Beach Tag Tournament 2024 over the weekend. There were a record breaking 1200 players from 75 different teams competing, featuring a mix of NRL and NRLW stars.

This is the third year the event has taken place. The teams battled it out across junior, open and mixed categories, with notable appearances by retired NRL legends Trent Merrin, Matt Cooper, and Luke Patten. 

Tournament director Keiron Duncan hailed the event’s success and hinted at plans for next year’s return. Keiron attributes this year's success to the unwavering support of the local community, with various groups and sporting teams joining forces to ensure the event’s smooth execution.  

Endorsed by the NRL, the tournament stands as the sole full-day Beach Tag event in NSW, drawing praise for its widespread community support and inclusive spirit. With future growth on the horizon and NRL community involvement expected, anticipation is already growing for next year's competition.
