NEWCASTLE Jets are on target to keep their A-League play-off hopes alive, leading Adelaide 1-0 at halftime in their final round clash at Hunter Stadium.
A Joel Griffiths goal separated the two sides in an entertaining opening half.
It was all Adelaide early with the Jets struggling for any worthwhile possession and it was no surprise to see the first real opportunity of the game fall to the Reds.

Argentinian Marcelo Carrusca, undetected by the Jets defence, made a clever run into the box but his left foot shot was blocked by an advancing Jets keeper Ben Kennedy.
After their slow start, the Jets finally settled into the game and had the lead after 20 minutes thanks to Joel Griffiths.
Griffiths escaped the attention of Bruce Djite to power home a header from seven metres out following a David Carney corner.
Adelaide defender Nigel Boogaard very nearly returned serve from a corner 13 minutes later but his header missed its mark, sailing just wide.
The Jets continued to press for a second goal and good lead up work from Emile Heskey and Josh Brillante almost opened the door for striker Adam Taggart. But his snap shot flew well over the cross-bar.
