"We are very happy to be in the semi-finals. I do not know when last Netball SA was in that position.
"We worked hard to get where we are today. We knew game would not be easy and they played really but I am proud of the SPAR Proteas. Today proved that we aren't here by luck but we worked for it."
Coach Norma Plummer says the girls deserve all the plaudits coming their way.
