The second try came from player coach Sam Richbell who came up with the ball after a driving maul from an attacking line out. Conversion missed.
Richbell scored Swifts third try with a pick and drive from the base of the scrum. Converted by Richbell.
Swifts bonus point try came before half time when Simon Bunday fed the ball to Phil Cliff who bounced off a couple if tacklers to score under the posts to give Richbell an easy conversion.
