Newcastle To Host A-League Grand Final

BY IAN CROUCH

The Hunter is in grip of Grand Final fever after the Newcastle Jets qualified for the A-League Grand Final.

The international football community is still singing the praises of Jets young gun, Riley McGree for his freakish scorpion kick which leveled the scores during Friday's 2-1 win over Melbourne City.

Saturday's decider will be held at McDonald Jones Stadium after Melbourne Victory scored an upset win over competition front-runners, Sydney FC on Saturday night.

Already, 20,000 tickets have been sold to members of both clubs.

The Football Family pre-sale opens at 10 this morning, with tickets for the General Public going on sale from 1pm.
