Claudelands B 2 v
Matamata Reserves 1

Playing the second Claudelands team in their division, the Swifts could not reproduce the previous weeks win over the A team when they went down narrowly in yet another close game.

Claudelands opened the scoring after ten minutes but the Swifts equalised shortly after when Adam Graham pounced on a loose ball in the six yard box. The home team regained the lead with a shot that took a wicked deflection and then their keeper made a great save to preserve their lead.

Despite having the majority of the possession and territory in the second half the Swifts could not pull back the half time deficit. The home team went into a defensive mode and although the Swifts went close on a number of occasions another goal was not forthcoming.

Chris Bedford and Joel Chamberlain in the midfield had stand out games, while Joseph Dew did not stop running up front and versatile Floyd Emson filled in well at centreback.
