Mariners Coach Paul Okon admits fatigue was a factor in last night’s two-one loss to Adelaide. The yellow and navy looked set for a draw, before the Reds snatched all three points deep in stoppage time.  

The pressure is on for the Mariners to pull off back-to-back home game wins tomorrow night. Coach Paul Okon is confident the squad can repeat last week’s energy-filled performance.

Mariners fullback Jake McGing says the squad must maintain focus leading into Thursday’s clash with Adelaide. With a win under its belt, the team’s main aim is to have a clean sheet for the third week running.

After stunning the champions last Friday night, Andrew Hoole believes it could be the start of a Mariners winning streak. The squad returned to training this morning ahead of a clash with a desperate Adelaide side on Thursday.  

The Central Coast have pulled off a massive upset, beating the reigning A-League champions, Sydney FC, 2-nil overnight. It’s the Mariners first win this season, and the first time since early 20-14 they’ve beaten the Sky Blues.  

The Champions and ladder leaders Sydney FC are in town for a Friday night A-League Blockbuster. Former Mariners star striker Adam Kwasnik says the start is absolutely crucial, and he believes the yellow and navy can cause an upset.  

Central Coast Stadium management has been forced to close off an entire bay ahead of tomorrow night’s Mariners-Sydney match. An intruder nesting at the waterside venue is behind the forced closure, and NBN’s cameras today caught the invader acting rather cagey.

The Mariners have confirmed Storm Roux (ROO) will be out of action for the next week, while he’s on duties with the New Zealand world qualifying team. Meantime, coach Paul Okon is set to make a few changes to tomorrow night’s line up against Sydney.

It’ll be a tough fight for the Central Coast looking to climb the A-League ladder. Lingering towards the bottom of the rung, the Mariners are preparing to work hard when they face competition front runners Sydney on Friday.

The Mariners have climbed to seventh on the A-League ladder, after earning a point in Brisbane. Ben Kennedy made several crucial saves on debut, none more so than deep in stoppage time.
