Championship is Gulls goal

An away qualifying final win for the Gulls will earn them a major semi-final berth against league-leaders Stirling and a shot at a grand final spot.

A loss will have them take on the winner of this weekend’s elimination final between Cockburn City and Floreat Athena.

They head into Sunday’s clash with confidence, coming off a 1-0 victory against Bayswater in the final round last weekend.
