Sydney FC have won their second Westfield W-League championship, prevailing in a 3-1 win over Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park on Sunday.

Melbourne Victory. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Victory were unique in that they often have an excellent defensive record, can challenge the top teams week to week, and yet had never before proceeded beyond the semi-final stage. Until now.

One is a first time W-League coach who took over late in the season, the other is a W-League fixture.  We caught up with grand final coaches Fabrizio Soncin and Alen Stajcic for their thoughts ahead of this weekend's finale.  

After a less than perfect season, Sydney made it to the finals by the skin of their teeth. Don’t judge them on that though. When it really counts, here they are, and that tenacity is what they will need to win on Sunday.

After the tightest regular season in W-League history and two action packed and tense semi-finals, Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC are left to battle it out for the 2012/13 W-League championship.

To say that Melbourne Victory's position was precarious at the commencement of the season would be an understatement. 

The most exciting season of the W-League is heading towards what is anticipated to be an equally exciting finals series and we want to capture your excitement and the support of your team.
