This week could serve as one of the biggest occasions in the long history of football in the Hunter region. A spot in the 2008 Hyundai A-League Grand Final is on the line this Sunday as the Jets take on the Queensland Roar in the Preliminary Final.
Coincidentally, this is the same stage of the competition that saw the Jets bow out of last season’s Finals Series against Adelaide United in a heartbreaking penalty shootout. This time, however, there is one significant difference; we’re on home soil.

The Newcastle Jets have taken the first steps to entering the 2008 Grand Final, after defeating the Central Coast Mariners inside a sweltering EnergyAustralia Stadium, which was filled to capacity with passionate supporters.
Both teams set out their stall cautiously, opting for balance in their sides as they began their two-legged tie. A Joel Griffiths free-kick from 20 yards would prove to be the best strike of the opening 10 minutes, as his goalbound effort forced a good save from Danny Vukovic in the Mariners’ goal.
Moments later and it was the turn of the Mariners top striker, John Aloisi, to take aim. But just as it seemed the Socceroo striker’s back-post header was going in beyond Ante Covic, Jets’ Captain, Jade North, made a fine goal line clearance over the bar to deny Aloisi a crucial away goal.
