The result comes after a barn-storming season in which the Macquarie women went undefeated, and was capped off with back to back wins over the RSL 78's.

"There were no real surprises," Coach David Jeffery said.

"RSL are a really tough team, on any given day to beat them is an incredible thing, but Grand Final day everybody steps up a notch."

"There was really nothing in it, the game could have gone either way."

The Macquarie women were able to score first, which Jeffery felt was key.

"I had a feeling that whoever scored the first goal was going to go on to win it."

But the win wasn't without scares, with Macquarie's efforts to hold their rivals scoreless taking a blow when regular goalkeeper Melinda Rieschieck was injured and had to be replaced by Tori Campbell.

"She did a fantastic job, even though she isn't a goalkeeper, she made some good saves and to do that in any game is a tough thing, but to have her come in on a grand final, especially one like the one on Sunday, that was an awesome effort on Tori's part."

Thanks to their joint effort, Macquarie were able to keep the score at 1 - 0 through stoppage time and walk away with the silverware.

The mid-game switch wasn't the only change to the Macquarie roster, with Henrietta Burns brought into the backline for the club's final game of the season.

"Henrietta, her energy and effort was a standout from my perspective, she just runs all day."

Burns and Campbell weren't the only players to draw a mention for their efforts, with Captain Nikea Goodwin earning praise for once again leading the team to victory.

"I spoke to Nikea before the game, and I said to her that she had to step up and lead the girls and I think she did that," Jeffery said.

"She's young, but very experienced, she's played a lot of football, she's played for the Australian Aboriginal side, she's fantastic."

"It was a great game, it's unfortunate that one side has to lose in a game like that."

"RSL are a really class side with class players, I don't know how they'll fare with their roster, but I'm sure they'll be back and ready to go again next year."

The effort will no doubt go down in club history for Macquarie, who now have back to back titles as an achievement they can name.

"The team as a whole were outstanding this year, they're a bunch of girls who get along really well and want to play for each other, they just enjoy what they have and that makes a big difference in any team."

While Jeffery isn't one to look too far into the future, he's confident that his side will return in good form next season.

"Three years in a row is the ultimate target, but to be honest, each season I just play one game at a time, and we end up where we end up and we take it from there," Jeffery said.

"We've got a couple of girls leaving, but we're looking pretty good."
