Coach Jarred Harvey: "It's an exciting moment for the boys, and they've worked incredibly hard to get to this point.
"The manner of a semi-final always brings a more competitive edge to the game, and that in itself is a learning experience as the players learn how to manage emotions on these occasions.
"The boys are on good form, the togetherness has been amazing and, ultimately, that's led to them getting four wins in a row."
