Mark Jackson wants the Central Coast Mariners' A-League Men premier's plate victory to be the start of a trophy-laden month for the club, after wrapping up top spot with a 2-0 win over Adelaide.

Jackson, who had big shoes to fill when he replaced Nick Montgomery on the eve of the A-League Men season, was beaming with pride after goals from Jacob Farrell and Max Balard secured a first-place finish for the Mariners on Wednesday.

It is the first time in 12 years that the Central Coast have finished a regular season top of the table.

But Jackson has said he is not satisfied with finishing on top of the ladder.

Less than 12 hours after their rain-soaked win over the Reds at Gosford, the Mariners will be on a plane to Oman for their AFC Cup final against Lebanese side Al Ahed, on Sunday, 2am AEST.

If they succeed there, then a potential berth in an ALM grand final awaits with the chance to complete a rare treble on offer.

"That's our mentality, we said to the players a while back that opportunities don't often come around to win a trophy," Jackson said.

"To be in a position where we can win a treble — that might not happen again.

"We're going to do everything we can to take that opportunity and leave it all out on the table.

"If we fall at the next hurdle we'll do it by trying to play our way."

The Mariners clinched the first of their three trophies with ease, but they have had to fight for first place all season.

Jackson's men have been in a running battle with Wellington Phoenix all season and a loss would have handed the Kiwi outfit their first premiership.
