On reaching his first final in charge of the women’s team, Head Coach, Mike Grady said: “I’m really pleased for the group to have made the final.
“The staff, coaches and players have worked hard, and we 100% deserve to be there.
“We haven’t conceded a try throughout the cup rounds and only one in all of our competitive games so far. Couple that with the rugby we have been playing then it’s a credit to how hard the players have worked during pre-season and this final is the reward for that.
“I’m expecting a really tough game whoever we play, we will have to prepare well and be prepared to battle for a full 80 minutes – really looking forward to the day!”
