WA coach Clint Degebrodt said he and the other coaching staff had been very impressed with the performance and resilience of the WA players throughout the Championships.
“They’ve done themselves, their families and our State proud and we know they have the ability to go all the way if they apply themselves on the big stage tomorrow,” he said.
