The A-League Women's Grand Final is upon us, with the Melbourne Victory set to take on the Central Coast Mariners in a Sunday afternoon clash that is sure to provide great drama, endeavour and a chance to make history.
Melbourne Victory have been eye-catching all season. They've shown consistency and composure throughout and, against all odds and expectations, lost just two games in the entire campaign, finishing a deserved second on the table.
The Victory took that sizzling form into the playoffs and easily brushed aside Adelaide United with a 6-2 aggregate win in the semi-final, confirming their place in history as one of the most powerful forces of the season.
Meanwhile, the Central Coast Mariners are poised to add a new chapter to the history of the club. They've reached the A-League Women Grand Final for the first time in club history, and have faced adversity all season - and come out the other side as a better team.
Their 3-2 aggregate victory over Melbourne City in a hotly contested semi-final, spoke to their amount of resilience and commitment. They are taking the field knowing they have nothing to lose, and everything to prove.
