The NSW Swifts claim the Super Netball title with a perfectly executed 64-47 victory over the Sunshine Coast Lightning in Brisbane.

Wood's furious battle with Turner summed up the contest in a microcosm, the Swifts defender meeting the challenge head on and denying Wood a sniff of a goal as she went goal-less from just two attempts in the first half.
