The NSW Swifts have maintained their unbeaten start with a 68-44 victory over the Adelaide Thunderbirds in the trans-Tasman netball competition.

The Swifts had to overcome some stiff opposition, leading by just one goal and quarter-time and nine at halftime before emptying their bench as they cleared out late in the home match.

Swifts shooter Caitlin Thwaites finished with 34 goals from 39 attempts.

The hosts' dominance was reflected in the attempts-at-goal statistics with the Swifts taking 82 shots to the Thunderbirds' 54.
