"Holli is coming back from a fractured sternum and will not be 100 percent, however a half-fit Holli is a player I would have in my team any day of the week,'' Tigers coach Tony Lewis said.

Tigers will be looking to win their third successive premiership and Lewis assured team is comfortable carrying the tag of favourites.

The charge will be led by Wheeler and fellow Australian Country representative, Ash Alcorn along with the multi-talented Kylie Hilder plus a host of junior players running on for their first division one grand final.

"Ash is finally starting to realise the potential that has always been there and has grown so much this season,'' Lewis said.

Lewis believes the side has become stronger each year and the players are determined to show their best this Saturday.

"The girls have enjoyed an outstanding season,'' he said.

"They have trained hard, they respect each other and clearly enjoy their hockey. There is a great balance to the team and the senior players have mentored the new kids on the block very well and this has given them the confidence to play their role in the top grade."

However Tigers won't underestimate Wingham, Lewis assured.

"Wingham has a young team who are very motivated. They showed through in the surprise win over Sharks last week that they will be a formidable opponent,'' he explained.

Lewis said one of the strengths his team wass the juniors who have really developed their games this season.

Chloe Northam, Amber Williams, Chloe Clarke, Hannah Lewis, Sonia Johnston and Taylah McIntosh are still in high school and have brought great energy and enthusiasm to the team. Lewis has every confidence in their ability to handle the additional pressure of a grand final.

"I think that is one area we may have the edge over Wingham - they may not handle the occasion as well and it will our job to ensure there is plenty of early pressure to test them on the big stage,'' Lewis added.

"Taylah McIntosh has been outstanding this season while the younger players gained much from their major semi-final victory when they kept Wingham scoreless.''

The ever-reliable Nicole Clark has been the foundation of the team's defensive structure for their past two premierships. Her sister, Michelle Clark, is one of the most consistent players in the team.

"Her left side defence frustrates opponents,'' Lewis said.

Lewis also praised Sarraya Osborne, who moved to Tigers in 2014.

"I have been extremely impressed with Sarraya. She moved up from division three to division one and is our most improved player this season," Lewis said

Krissy Falzon and keeper Regina Carle will be important to the Tigers defence also and will need to be very positive against a fast and enthusiastic Wingham attack.

Lewis rates this season's side as one the best women's teams he has coached in 25 years.
