The Ostriches are the only club to have all five netball grades qualify, with A-grade to take on Ganmain- Grong Grong-Matong in an elimination final on Sunday.
"When we started we were just taking it one week at a time," Osborne coach Liza Gooden said.

"We turned up to play Tigers for round one and the nine girls that were in the team hadn't even been on the court together, not even at training.
"It was the first time some of them had met each other.
"We're just rapt that NSW has been able to stay pretty good and we can play finals."
Osborne is coming off the back of a four goal loss to Wagga Tigers and have all players available for this weekend.
The last time they faced Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong the Ostriches came out on top, but Gooden admits they'll have to bring their best to the court to get over the line.
"Our girls will have to move the ball really well through the centre court to come away with the win," she said.
