With the grand final fast approaching, coach Mitchell Thompson says his team is rested, focused, and ready to extend their two year unbeaten streak.
After taking last weekend off to recharge, the squad has turned its attention to sharpening key areas in preparation for the biggest match of the season.
“We were just resting last week, as training got cancelled due to rain,” Thompson said.
Thompson explained that training this week will be about polishing effort areas that slipped slightly in their last outing.
“We’ll focus on little effort areas where we left a little bit last game,” he said.
“Attacking the ball, we were a bit more standoffish last game.”
The focus on sharper movement and cleaner ball use is designed to ensure Cowra head into the decider with both confidence and precision.
According to Thompson, team morale couldn’t be better.
The players are thriving under the pressure of grand final week, and excitement levels are running high.
“The vibe is awesome at the moment,” he said.
“Everyone’s upbeat and excited.”
“They’re excited for the grand final.”
On the injury front, the team is in a strong position.
A few players have been managing knocks but are expected to be fully fit for the decider.
“We’ve been pretty lucky with injuries this year,” Thompson said.
“Courtney’s got a bit of a cork, but I think with the week off she’ll be right.”
“She’ll be around to go.”
“We’ve got a couple of girls coming back for the grand final that we didn’t have last week, which is good, that’s a boost.”
“We’re all on deck, ready to go,” he said.
Beyond the tactical preparations and fitness updates, Thompson made it clear how proud he is of what the group has already achieved.
“I’m just proud of the girls that they haven’t been beaten in two years,” he said.
“They’ve stayed committed and we’ve just got one more game.”
With confidence high, fitness strong, and an unbeaten record to protect, Cowra’s women’s team enters the grand final poised to cap off another unforgettable season.
