The 2007 McDonald’s® JPL Cup Finals were greeted with perfect weather, as Adelaide City won three Cup finals, while West Adelaide, Modbury and MetroStars each won a Cup Final in a memorial day for all at Hindmarsh Stadium.

In the first match of the day, Adelaide City Under 13s defeated Cumberland United Foxes 2-1 thanks to two goals from Anthony Maglio, while Ben Garuccio was the scorer for the Foxes. Adelaide City claimed back to back Cup titles after winning the Under 12 Cup Final in 2006.

Adelaide City claimed the Under 12 Cup Final, when they scored two goals in each half to seal a 4-1 victory over Playford City Patriots. Adelaide City had four individual goalscorers, Michael Cecarelli, S.Mauk, B.Kamau and Terry Theodorou, with Conor Clancy the scorer for the Patriots.

Adelaide City claimed their third and final Cup for the day, scoring four first half goals to set up a 5-1 victory over Adelaide Blue Eagles in the Under 16 Cup Final. Kym Harris bagged a double, while Luigi Camerelli, Mario Ostojic and Lewis May each added to the score line. Daniel Zamparelli scored in the second half for the Blue Eagles.

In the Under 14 Cup Final, Modbury Jets reversed the 2006 Under 13 Cup Final result when they went down to Para Hills Knights, this time defeating Para Hills 2-1 thanks to goals to Zak Jacob and Adrian Kronus. Jordan Elsey scored in the second half for the Knights.

West Adelaide Blues claimed their first Cup title under their new name with a 3-0 victory over MetroStars in an exciting Under 15 Cup Final. Three second half goals sealed the victory for the Blues with goals to Shannon Claridge, Patrick Moyima and Stavros Gelekis.

In the final match of the day, MetroStars completed a 2-0 victory over Modbury Jets in the Under 17 Cup Final. Aaron Rocca and Nick Kalogerinos were the scorers for MetroStars.
