That was the proud declaration from Lilly Phillips on Saturday afternoon after she won her third consecutive Mid West League league tag grand final as a CSU Mungal, and she certainly won it in style.

Phillips scored a pair of tries, had two additional line breaks to her credit, at one stage pulled off a charge down and was named best on field as the Mungals posted a 34-0 win over Orange United to ice an undefeated season 2021.

"We just munged up and we got it. Three premierships in a row, I couldn't be happier, best club in the world," Phillips said.

"It was good to finish off like that. I've played the last three years in a row for the Mungals and this is my last year. It was awesome, I couldn't have had a better year with the girls."

A Euabalong native, Phillips joined the Mungals in 2019.

That season CSU had two league tag sides and she was part of the Yellow outfit which beat club-mates Blue 4-0 on grand final day. As well as a premiership medal, Phillips was named best and fairest.

In 2020 CSU had just one league tag side, and Phillips was back again. Once more it was a premiership winning campaign - the second rower scored in the 22-20 extra-time grand final win over Cargo - and she was named best forward.

This season Phillips, who is also on the CSU committee, was again a consistently strong performer for the Mungals who were undefeated minor premiers and the first side into the decider.

While they'd beaten Orange United twice in that run to the grand final, the Warriors' defence in the opening quarter was brilliant.

Phillips did manage a line break in that first quarter before a top Kate Kennedy tag halted her.

But in the second quarter Phillips could not be denied when she went over close to the line to open CSU's account.

It was a try that frustrated Warriors, who then found themselves down 12-0 when CSU scored again off the following set.

Though it was a handy lead, the Mungals did not feel safe. But it got better early in the second half.

Phillips again sliced through the Warriors defence to make good yards before being tagged, that run backed up by another good metre-earned from skipper Georgia Woodhouse.

The next play it was Phillips who grounded the ball over the line.

"It was amazing, I didn't expect it, but we just kept hitting them hard and I think it was our fitness which got us there in the end,'" she said.

"We trained really hard because we knew we had to put our best in today. We knew Orange was a tough team to beat.

"To be honest it wasn't until the last five minutes I thought we had it."
