Lightwood Park Development Funding Update

Lightwood Park Upgrades – Funding Update 18 May 2022

The club has sought bipartisan support for this community project in Franklin since we started working on it in 2013. This is where we are at with three sleeps to the 2022 Federal Election:

The Australian Labor Party, Julie Collins MP, have committed funding – $3 million – to the next stage of the project.
The Liberal Party of Australia have not committed any funding to the next stage of the project.

This is a Ground and Infrastructure project that will benefit the entire Community, Football (soccer) in the South of the State, the Football Club, Kingston High School and other users of the Kingborough Sports Precinct. Ground closures over the past fortnight have once again highlighted the need for improved facilities and Kingborough Lions Untied FC continues to work on implementing the Lightwood Park Master plan endorsed by the Kingborough Council in 2018. The club is thankful to have had the support of the Tasmanian State Liberal Government with funding for Stage 1 of the project.

Labor Promise 3 Million of Support for Lightwood Upgrades

It was a delight to host some Federal Labor politicians on 26 April at Clennett’s Lightwood.

With Stage 1 of the Lightwood Park redevelopment reaching completion and Stage 2 underway, the promise of $3 Million to be invested into Kingborough Lions United Football Club’s Lightwood Park Development was very welcome.

Federal Member for Franklin, Julie Collins MP and Senator Catryna Bilyk have been long time supporters and advocates for our Football Club for which we are truly thankful.

Very excited to announce today that if elected an Albanese Labor Government will invest $3 million to upgrade facilities at Lightwood Park, helping the Kingborough Lions United Football Club continue to grow.
This investment will help support Football Tasmania’s aspiration for the facility to be a base camp for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023 and will help the club meet the incredible growth in female participation in the sport.
I know what a difference the Club makes to the local community in Kingborough so I’m so pleased Labor is committing this support.
Julie Collins MP

Talented Kingborough Trio Embrace New Football Opportunity

Kingborough Lions United Football Club congratulates Holly Bonertz-Benn, Eloise Paine and Kate Bonertz-Benn who have been successful in securing placements to pursue their football development interstate in 2022. All three of the ‘triplets’ have secured positions in full time football programs whilst they undertake their college studies.

Eloise will be working with Sydney FC Academy staff in the High Performance football program at Endeavour Sports High School (an official Sydney FC Academy school in Sutherland Shire, Sydney). She will be playing for Sydney University Soccer FC, (a Football NSW Women’s NPL 1 club in the U18 Girls Youth League 1 competition).

Eloise has shown incredible dedication and resliance, having dealt with setbacks from a shock cancer diagnosis in November 2019 and pushing through over 55 weeks of Chemo.

Holly and Kate have moved to Brisbane having been accepted into the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) NTC program for 2022 and the Kelvin Grove State High School football excellence program.

We feel like this is the best move for us with the overall goal of playing professional football and representing our nation. We are very thankful for Kingborough Lions and Football TAS, and all that these programs have done for us.
Holly and Kate

Kate, Eloise & Holly have been with the Lions since they were juniors (Kate and Holly coming to the Lions from the Cygnet Sea Dragons in 2016) and have worked through our SAP and Youth Academy programs where they have been recognised by being selected multiple times for Tasmanian teams.

In early 2021 Kate, Eloise and Holly were named in the extended Junior Matilda’s squad during a disappointing 2021 which saw football activities hampered by COVID.

The work ethic, belief and passion for the game that Holly, Kate and Eloise have continued to demonstrate has been, and continues to be, inspirational.
Simon Edwards – Technical Director KLUFC

We are proud to have had the opportunity provide the programs and environment to support these young women in their football development and wish them continued success on their way to fulfilling their football dreams. Roar with the Pride !
