Nova sponsors the Menai Hawks and their logo features on their soccer strip, and Kate’s involvement was part of a promotional drive for the station and the team.
Before the match, Kate had trained with Sydney FC’s goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, with footage from the amusing session being shared to Instagram.
In the clip, Kate could be seen both serving as the goalkeeper and striker as she practiced her skills on the pitch with the famed soccer star.
Kate proved herself to be a natural as she saved goals shot at her by Andrew, before he revealed he was going easy on her.
The presenter also joked that watching her young daughter Mae, 10, play soccer had helped her train for her debut on the pitch.
Kate shares Mae with her NRL star ex-husband Stuart Webb, who she split from in 2019 after nine years of marriage.
