Flying Bats FC won all of their matches during the season and scored 65 goals while conceding just four. West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook won 12 matches and lost just two. They scored 43 goals and conceded 17.
Flying Bats FC came under fire earlier this year when it won the pre-season Beryl Ackroyd Cup and received a $1,000 prize, according to news.au.com, and prides itself on being a supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community.
But, just as it did in March, Flying Bats FC came under fire on social media for winning the championship with transgender players on the team. The club reportedly has up to five transgender players on the team competing in the women's division.

“Full time. Flying Bats FC wins Premier League and Grand Final. Men who identify as trans will be crowned champions in the Women's Premier League Division,” wrote Australian journalist Lucy Zelić on X.
“Somehow this is supposed to represent progress. Somewhere, the gatekeepers of our game don't care.”
West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook FC took the defeat in stride.
