Swans edge closer to top half of the table

On Saturday, the ladies 2nd team hosted 3rd in the table Salisbury (IV), knowing that this encounter would not be an easy one. The match started at a pace that continued until the end, providing excellent entertainment value for the spectators. The visitors soon took the lead but Swans immediately switched on and fought back with Charlotte Grenville-Cleave scoring a well deserved goal in the 20th minute. The home team continued the pressure until Grenville-Cleave found the net once again in the 30th minute, briefly giving Swans the lead. Salisbury, however, dug deep and produced an equaliser just before half time.
After a brief respite at half time, Salisbury's tails were up and they scored very quickly into the second half, giving them the lead yet again. This was real end to end nail biting stuff. It was youngster, Alicia Whincop, who finally made the breakthrough for Swans, pulling them back level which is how it ended at 3-3. One point takes them another place up the table.
After the match captain Yaz Unsworth said "this game was the toughest so far this season but we all fought so hard and continued until the end. It's hard to single anyone out as the team effort was incredible, although Pam Laidman won player of the match as her defence was amazing."
