The two could not split at the end of regular time at a sodden Parramatta Stadium on Grand Final day. Perth and Parramatta had lots of history during the 2003/04 season, with five encounters between the two taking place over the course of the campaign. They lost 6-2 on aggregate to Parramatta in the semi-final and following a 5-0 drubbing of Adelaide United in the preliminary final, they finally qualified for the Grand Final, albeit away from home at Parramatta Stadium. The Glory’s road to the Grand Final came the hard way, with fears that they would not win the championship. They were involved in some high-scoring matches – a 5-3 win over the Northern Spirit, a 6-1 triumph over the Brisbane Strikers and a 4-2 victory over Sydney United were just some results that saw a lot of action. Image: Perth Gloryĭespite a couple of disappointing results, including a 6-0 loss to Parramatta, the Glory won 18 of their 24 matches during the regular season. It was a great squad that finished on top of the table with six-point lead over second-placed Parramatta Power. Damian Mori, Bobby Despotovski, Nick Mrdja and Tom Pondeljak are just some others that also contributed to their success, while many more played a large part. Jason Petkovic played in goals, while their defence featured players such as Shaun Murphy, Jade North and Matthew Horsley. The squad featured some quality players, that have had long and successful careers in Australian football. Perth played at three venues over the course of the season – Perth Oval (now known as HBF Park), Arena Joondalup and Subiaco Oval. The Glory were out to defend their championship and do their state proud. Mich d’Avray was the manager during this campaign and despite finishing in second place the season before, Perth were crowned champions after defeating the Olympic Sharks 2-0. Let’s have a look at the 2003/04 Perth Glory side that had been the last to win a trophy: Their fans have stuck by them throughout this time, and the recent trophy is a fantastic accomplishment for the club and for the state of Western Australia. They came close in the 2011/12 season, however, could not overcome Brisbane Roar in the grand final. Perth completed the double in the 2003/04 NSL season, however until last week failed to win any silverware in the A-League era. KAMARA 64′, E.Perth Glory’s Premiers Plate triumph was a historic moment, as it was the first trophy that the club had won since their NSL days. It was a brace by Anthony Costa, and goals to Nic Bucco, Dylan Smith, Jordan Pudler, Mamadi Kamara and Evan Kostopoulos that ultimately sealed the deal. Adelaide City have maintained their perfect record in 2017 after stunning Adelaide United in a 7-1 masterclass at The Parks Football Centre in Round 3 of PlayStation 4 NPL South Australia.Ī number of City’s men reigned supreme in front of goal, proving the depth and dynamism of Damien Mori’s squad, who will be tough to barricade in upcoming matches.
