Tammy Phibbs helps Chiltern to win against Thurgoona

The Swans closed out the game by six goals at Thurgoona after leading by three at the end of the third term.

Defender Tammy Phibbs rose to the challenge to take intercepts at crucial stages of the last quarter.

Former Ovens and Murray players Zoe Rae and Georgia Thomas shot a combined total of 37 goals for the Swans, while Thomas' younger sister Hannah also shot 12.

Chiltern coach Lee Brookes admitted it was a hard fought game for the side, who has now won three of their five games this season.

"It was a well contested game and that last quarter just opened up a bit for us," she said.

"It showed that we're mentally match ready and we can handle getting through four quarters of really hard contested netball."
