2015 Cool Ridge Cup

edit

Western Australian soccer clubs competed in 2015 for the Football West State Cup, known that year as the Cool Ridge Cup for sponsorship reasons. Clubs entered from the National Premier Leagues WA, the two divisions of the State League, a limited number of teams from various divisions of the 2015 Sunday League competition, and from regional teams invited from the South West, Goldfields, Great Southern and Midwest regions.[3][4]

This knockout competition was won by Sorrento, their 3rd title.[5]

The competition also served as the Western Australian Preliminary Rounds for the 2015 FFA Cup. In addition to the A-League club Perth Glory, the two finalists – Perth SC and Sorrento FC – qualified for the final rounds of the 2015 FFA Cup, entering at the Round of 32, where they were both eliminated.
