Rutherglen led by one goal heading into the second term but the Bulldogs were able to nudge in front and hold onto a narrow lead for the remaining quarters, as both sides fought hard for a spot on the big stage.

Thurgoona coach Kristie McInnes said she was proud of her girls for their determination.

"I thought they fought hard for four quarters and they had a lot of fight in them," McInnes said.

"I think the hard work on the track has really paid off, so a grand final spot is lovely.

"Our defence stood up really tall and took a lot of rebounds, but in saying that, our shooters were really accurate as well.

"I couldn't fault any of our players today."
