Speaking to Belfast Live, he said: "This season we have been surprised at how successful we have been. Our goals pre-season were to be competitive in all games and had a target of winning six or seven games.
"We have had a phenomenal team culture and a real team motto of 'we not me' and everybody has come together, for each other. We amassed a record of 12-2 in the league and we are Northern Conference Champions, which we are all very proud of.
"After our semi-final win last weekend over Panthers, who were the second place team from the Southern Conference, we are now in the final on Sunday against a very, very good team.
"Ahead of the game, I just want the ladies to enjoy it. It is a reward for all the hard work each and every player has put in."
The final will take place on Sunday at 3pm at the National Basketball Arena in Dublin.
