Central Coast Mariners champions after a decade

Central Coast Mariners beat Melbourne City, who looked like the heavy favourites, to win their second title in a decade.

After a decade and three losing finals since 2006, Gosford's team tasted the nectar of success again.

A hat-trick from Socceroos international Jason Cummings led the Central Coast Mariners to a dream 6-1 win over Melbourne City at the CommBank Stadium

Despite being underdogs in last night's final, the Mariners led the Melbourne side to their third defeat in four finals appearances in the last four years.
