"Weather conditions just levels everything out. [But], all credit to our boys, they stood up, like I said at halftime [to his team], I said we worked hard to get there and we've only got one more half so now it's up to them [the players] to get the result.
"We've trained hard and we all got together before the game to talk about the season and got it all out there.
"We played for Jack Morgan too [who died last Thursday, aged 97], who was a stalwart for the club, so hopefully did him proud."
Besides Takulua's heroics throughout the match, Edwards believed Buster Tahere deserved a pat on the back for his efforts. He said he was an "outstanding player and I'd like to see him in a blue jersey".
The win is Mid Northern's third in six years under the watch of Edwards, who added this year could very well be his last as coach.
Kamo won the premier reserve final over Mid Northern 16-10.
