Weekly Advertiser | Swifts fought out an important six-goal win against Harrow-Balmoral to keep a Horsham District Football Netball League A Grade finals berth in play on Saturday.

The Baggies trail sixth-placed Kaniva-Leeor United by eight premiership points and about 11 per cent, but with the Cougars scheduled for a last-round bye, the Swifts are still capable of snatching the last finals spot.

A loss at the weekend would have all but ended their chances, however the Baggies had to endure some nervous moments against the Roos.

Playing at North Park, the home side led by three goals at quarter time, six by the half and nine at the final change, but the determined Roos, led by a hot-shooting goal tandem of Tori Dunstan and Tara McIntyre, refused to lie down.

They scored 16 goals in the final quarter to eat into the Baggies’ lead, but were unable to get their noses in front as Swifts held on to win 56-50.

Michaela Armer and Rebekkah Seeary were on song for the home side in goals, while goal defence Edwina Flakemore did well to limit McIntyre through the first three quarters.
