"They'll try and get on our outsides, but they won't.
"The players are very excited - they sort of can't believe it, after the year we've had.
"We're focusing on the positives, that's what has got us here. The way we played against Rangataua is exactly how I want us to play against Waimana."
Club pride was important to the team and Wilson expected a large, vocal crowd to show up in support.
"It's amazing, the girls are over the moon. Three weeks out they were kind of expecting to be playing an away semifinal but having it at home the energy levels are really up."
Waikite captain Eliza Stephens said the side had a proud history, they won the competition in 2015, and having a home semifinal meant a lot.
"It has been an unusual season with inconsistent results, so to be in the position we are today with a home semifinal shows we've done our homework and dug deep.
"I'm very proud of the girls and how we performed [last week], it really shows the character of the girls and the meaning of the jersey to them.
"We've shown we can win when it really matters and we weren't a champion team in previous seasons for nothing.
"I think the culture within our team was a huge part of our success through all those years. We care about each other, we support each other, we're a very whanau-oriented team."
Stephens said her side would go into this game with a focus on keeping the same intensity, and mentality they played with last week.
"We're peaking at the right time, this is where we wanted to be."
In the other semifinal second-placed Rangataua play Rangiuru at home.
