The Macquarie United AAW First Grade side will have a chance at history on Sunday

That's the mood of Macquarie United's women side ahead of their grand final clash with the RSL 78's, according to coach David Jeffery.

There's plenty of reason to be as well, the first grade will not only be heading into the grand final as defending premiers after finding runaway success last year, but they'll also have boost of an undefeated season and a win over RSL two weeks ago to give them confidence.

"The girls are quite relaxed, we're really looking forward to it," Jeffery said.

"We're quietly confident without getting too ahead of ourselves, training's been going well, we had a few niggling injuries which I think now are pretty much dealt with, we're a hundred percent."

"We've got a slightly different side from the girls that won last year, but my approach is still the same, come Sunday, I'll finalise what side I want to run on and we'll just go from there."\

The season, which started with a draw over RSL in the first round, has only hit one minor speed-bump since, with a late round draw to the Westside Panthers.

"RSL are probably always going to be our biggest threat, but I think putting us and RSL aside, Westside have been the biggest improvement within our competition this year."

"RSL are a class side, to beat them in any game is a great thing, to beat them twice and draw with them early in the year, it's unheard of," Jeffery said.

"We've never managed it before, so since we've done that, mentally I think the girls are up for the challenge and looking forward to it."

Their unprecedented success over their closest rivals and grand final opponents isn't the only first the Macquarie women are savouring either, with a rare opportunity to become the first Macquarie outfit to go back to back as premiers fuelling the women's efforts.

"It's a big challenge to go back to back, especially for us only having won it for the first time last year," Jeffery said.

"That'd make history for the club, no other team has done it before, but grand final day is a different sort of ball-game."

"But in my view, it really won't amount to anything going undefeated through the regular season and then getting beaten at the end."

While his final roster for the premiership tilt hasn't been decided yet, there are two names that will certainly feature based on their recent performances.

"Our side's been led by it's Captain Nikea Goodwin, she's always great to have on our your team," Jeffery said.

"Our goalkeeper Melinda Rieschieck, she's put in an awesome performance, she's really grown in confidence over the last couple of seasons, that's been a big thing for us getting to watch that happen."

"This year's been good for all of us us though, I couldn't ask for a better year, there's no weakness in my eyes, we've just progressed."

The first grade grand final will start at 11am on Sunday, September 1, with Macquarie United taking on the RSL 78s.
