Match report: As anticipated, the Coolamon Rovers had an easy win over Griffith on Saturday last and, with few exceptions, made them look like second raters. It was Swans off day, and the Hoppers took full advantage of such under-manned opposition and scored with sickening frequency, running out winners by 163 points to 9.
On Saturday's display, Griffith has no chance of climbing off from the bottom place of the premiership ladder.
The Swans, who were without five of their regulars, including Ollie Bartter (concussion protocol), and key defenders Sam Foley and Willem Vaessen (on injured list), did not give themselves much chance of success, although fully expected to make a game of it.
In this they were not far astray as until about five minutes of play through the first quarter the Swans were well in the limelight.
Griffith this season has a team composed of mainly local boys, for the most part young and keen on the game and club officials are confident when they have had a few games together and gained a little more experienced, the Swans will not be found easy prey.
