2023 Grand Final winners

Founded in 2010, the Glebe Gorillas have been on a journey through the jungle. After a rocky start to the club with many years of preparation and changes the Gorillas picked up no less than 16 trophies between 2012 and 2016. In 2010 the Gorillas competed in the SAFL competition, but in 2017 we moved into the Eastern Suburbs Football Association (ESFA). The new competition brought another level of competitiveness to the club and the players and managers were thriving on this new challenge.


In 2018 the Gorillas had continued success and recruited strongly across all grades with the AA3 squad winning the Grand Final in the Playoffs and the Reserve Grade doing the double (winning the league & winning the play-offs).

In 2022 we enjoyed our greatest ever season, winning the ESFA men's Premier League and NSW Champions of Champions, defeating Banksia Tigers 3-2 in an epic final at Valentine's Park.

In 2023 we went one better by winning the league and grand final, beating Coogee 5-3 in yet an other epic final.
