Midfielder Mackenzie Hawkesby is “ecstatic” to be gearing up for her fourth Grand Final after helping Sydney FC through a season she reckons has been one of the club’s “most challenging”.
Sydney FC has defeated Perth Glory 4-1 at Allianz Stadium to help further cement their Isuzu-UTE Finals Series spot thanks to goals from Adam Le Fondre, Joe Lolley, Robert Mak and Rhyan Grant. The win takes the Sky Blues three points clear of the chasing pack with a superior goal difference and only two games to play.

Sydney FC have qualified for a sixth consecutive Grand Final after defeating a stubborn Melbourne Victory in the Preliminary Final at Allianz Stadium. Madison Haley’s late goal secured the win 1-0 after the Sky Blues peppered the Victory goal for most of the match. They’ll face Western United in next Sunday’s Grand Final at CommBank Stadium.
