A very impressive win away to Ballintubber by 1-5 to 3-11 has given the team a 100% start to the season. The team never went behind in the game and led from 10 minutes in to the end of the game. Swinford scorers: Jack McDonnell 1-8, Michael Walsh 2-0, Stephen Henry, Liam Moran and Barry Brennan 0-1 each.
A late flurry of goals and a sending off cost Swinford this game on a score of Aghamore 3-6 Swinford 1-6. The teams were level at half time and with 5 minutes to go before 3 goals for Aghamore and a consolation goal for Swinford with the last kick of the game brought matters to an end. Swinford scorers: Jason McLoughlin 1-0, Kevin McDonagh & James Lavin 0-2 each, Gerard Callaghan & Mark McNicholas 0-1 each.
The team have got off to a great start in the league, winning three games from three. Last night they had a very good win at home to Tourmakeady on a score of 6-14 to 1-5. Well done to John Dunne and all his team of players and selectors.
