Abby Pettifer’s side hit the ground running early, doubling the visitors’ score during the opening period to take a solid 14-7 lead into the first interval.
The second quarter was more even, but Tongala still won the period 15-10 to give its margin a small boost at half-time, the Blues leading 29-17.
Cobram would end up being held to only seven goals in three of the four quarters, as Tongala’s defence, particularly in the second half, tightened the screws on the Tigers.
The third quarter was a replica of the first, as Tongala again won the period 14-7.
The Blues then seized on a percentage-boosting opportunity in the fourth, laying on 20 goals in their best attacking stint of the game, running out as 63-31 winners.
Tongala’s 63 was made up of 25 from Milly Brock and 23 for Chicquita Vick, while Natasha Dodos chipped in with 15 goals.
The Blues are still fourth on the ladder, though should they take advantage of any slip ups by third-placed Moama, Tongala would likely move above the Magpies as it holds a better percentage.
Pettifer’s side will look to notch consecutive wins for the first time since rounds eight and nine in its next game, which is an all-Blues clash against Numurkah.
