The Bulldogs will have three football and six netball sides on the big stage with senior co-coach Peter Copley saying it was a huge achievement for the club which formed in 1988.
Only the under-17 football side missed out with the line-up falling short against Yackandandah in the preliminary final last weekend.
“I think it’s terrific to have so many sides in the grand final,” Copley said.
“It’s a great thing for the community.
“One of the big things the club has tried to push is being community based.
“Thurgoona is a big, growing community and it’s fantastic so many young kids have the chance to represent themselves in finals.
“I think that is what has made the club successful.”
Thurgoona will be shooting for its fifth straight premiership in reserve grade football.
