The Laois side take on Limerick Celtics in the National Cup Final tomorrow.
Former Portlaoise Panther Maeve Cahilane is praising the achievements of the men's team who have reached the National Cup Final for the first time.
The Laois side booked their place in Saturday's decider against Limerick Celtics by beating the Galway Titans on a scoreline of 67 - 55.
The final pits together the only two unbeaten teams left in Division 1.
