The group are undefeated heading into the HART Regional League West Central West finals, after they won all four games on Sunday, which included a 40-9 thrashing of Dubbo. This took their season tally to nine wins from nine games.

Maddison Cole believes consistency is key.

"We worked a lot last week on our teamwork and trusting our players on the court to know we can all get it done, so just carrying that through was what really helped us," she said.

"We're always trying to improve throughout the day, even when we get big wins like that we're still working on things that we can be better at. Going into the finals undefeated is a pretty big confidence boost I'd say."

Having strength at either end of the court doesn't hurt either.

"It's hard to go past Abby Tilburg in the defensive end," Cole said of the who stood out on Sunday.

"She's just so strong and leads our other defence really well in the circle with her communication.

"I think having Ellie Mooney back on our shooting end was definitely a big help as well."

Caitlyn Harvey said the Thunder went in to the day with the goal to win all four games.

"I think last round helped us to get that first win," she said of the Dubbo victory.

"We developed that trust. It's a relatively new team with a new coach so we worked on that last round and then this week we came out first game and put it all together and that helped the confidence for the rest of the day.

"The main thing we've been working on is trusting each other. We put different teams on each half and usually that's quite hard to adjust to, but I think we did really well in adjusting to new combinations on the court."

The Thunder will now have to wait a couple weeks before they take on Dubbo in the semi-final. A victory will see them take on the winner of the game between Bathurst and Forbes.
