Another three home points see Swans start to climb up the table.

The sun emerged just in time for this ladies match on Saturday afternoon when Swans took on the top goal scoring team from last season. The home side had a strong team at its disposal but it was the visitors who opened the scoring from a deflected short corner, much agains the run of play. Swans then stepped up the pace. With piercing crosses from Liz Goldsack on the right wing everyone felt an equaliser was imminent. However it took a short corner just before half time to level the scores, from Amy Lucas.

The second half can only be described as stunning. Due to the strength of the team on the pitch, from the defence through to the forwards, the home side showed total control. Special mention has to go to Player of the Match, Liz Goldsack, who made countless spectacular runs down the right wing producing just as many crosses as in the first half. Many chances came and went but finally the forwards managed to convert the opportunities given to them. The first came from Eden Crook and Liz Solomon sealed victory with a third. This was a very impressive performance from a well drilled team. Captain on the day Jess Hale stated "I couldn't have wished for a better performance from this very skilled side. With imminent lockdown it was a good one to finish on until the re-start."
