Bilbie Dan meet minor premiers Nova in today's major semi-final at National Park for a shot at Nags Head Hotel in the grand final.

Bilbie Dan have never finished higher than second last, and players credit this year's turnaround to a renewed training commitment under new coach Tracey Bragg.

"I've coached top grade for a long time and won many finals, but the thrill of making it with these girls is better," Bragg said. "They've got so much ability, they'll be unbeatable in a few years."

Original Bilbie Dan member Emma Andrews said last year was "really hard for all of us".

"We just knew as a young team we had a long way to go compared to the other teams that have experience," Andrews said.

She said the side's best win was their two-point minor semi-final victory against last year's champions, BNC Albion 1A.

Bilbie Dan have been the only team to rattle minor premiers Nova, coming within a few points of winning in their two matches.

"Seeing we've come so close before, this time is it for us," Andrews said.

The side recruited youth from A grade this year including Andrews's sister, Tara.

"The young girls who came up are more committed this year, we've all stepped up," Tara said.

Nova will be without ex-Hunter Jaegers Tiffany Lincoln, to Australian Netball League commitments, and Katie Bradstock, who is in Hong Kong coaching.
