The Seagulls have four sides in the Hampden league deciders – division one, two and three as well as 15 and under – and Cuomo features in two of them.
Her day kicks off bright and early as she attempts to coach her 15 and under team to premiership glory at 9am.
She then takes to the court as a playing coach of Port Fairy’s division one side at 12.30pm.
"I would actually nearly prefer to have the games back-to-back because we have done that all year. But I knew come finals they change time,” she said.
“Our division two and three girls play in between so we have four games running straight.
“We will take some timeout and get ourselves focused and have a really good warm up. But we will make sure we support the girls as much as we can.”
The playing-coach said she was “confident in both teams” as the division one Seagulls take on Cobden and the 15 and under side does battle with Koroit.
"We have really hit our straps at the end of year, particularly division one and we have a real united front with our team,” she said.
"And the 15s have been consistent all year, they are patient and play together really well."
The division three grand final will be special for the Harman sisters – Amy, Sarah and Naomi – who all take the court for the Seagulls.
Amy, the eldest of the trio, said it was a surreal feeling to be playing in a grand final with her two sisters.
"Even playing the finals series together was amazing,' she said.
"I couldn’t think of a better way to walk onto the court Saturday morning than all three of us together.
"A premiership together would be something that the three of us would never forget and a family story that we would share and reminisce on for years to come.
“It would also mean a big weekend of celebrations and there are no better drinking partners than your siblings.”
Port Fairy, which chases premiership glory in division two, faces Koroit which it beat in the semi-final after it finished the home and away season in third.
