A bouncy pitch causes no problems as the Swans glide to victory! Read Pete's stunning match report.

This game, played on a bouncy Trojans pitch, was characterised by Swans' solid, well organised defence and decisive attacks. Although Trojans had a lot of possession early on, it was Jack Thompson who produced a solo effort, beating the Trojans defence and flicking Swans into the lead. Pete Phillips soon added another, rounding the keeper after a penetrating through ball from Oli Britt and putting Swans 2 up. The best of the goals was yet to come, Pete Phillips squaring the ball to Paul Randell at top d, who hit a bobbling ball like a missile off the reverse stick giving the keeper no time to react. Swans took a 3-0 lead into the half time break.

The second half saw Trojans having to press forward to try to get back in the game. Swans were difficult to break down, and although the Trojans had chances, Selby was able to punch, parry and kick shots away. Swans put the game to bed with the first goal of the second half, Ethan Snell getting into a dangerous position from right wing and competently beating the keeper. A through ball from Duncan Crook straight to Randall in attack saw Swans break at pace, Randall passing to Phillips who stroked into an open net. Snell added a 6th from some sustained pressure before Randall produced an individual run and reverse sticked the ball past the Trojans keeper. Trojans managed a consolation goal, Selby denying them a second with a fantastic reaction save at throat-height.

A thrilling 7-1 victory for the Swans. Jack Thompson was awarded man of the match for an effective, no nonsense performance in defensive midfield making the Swans hard to break down.
