The Swifts reserves had six changes to their standing line up this week but it did not seem to matter as they registered an impressive home win.

Gabriel Valarino gave the Swifts a fifth minute lead and the home side were always in control from then on.

Joe Alves nipped in to stroke home the second goal and then slid in at the back post to convert a cross for the third goal of the game.

Jason Collins then added the next two goals, the second a nicely angled shot just before half time to give the Swifts a fair reward for their endeavours.

The Swifts also dominated the second half absorbing the Claudelands forays comfortably and mounting attack after attack. The finishing was not as clinical but the chances were there as their short passing and use of pace on the flanks proved effective.

Claudelands keeper could not handle Neil Wiseman's effort at the near post for the Swifts sixth goal while Jono Monteith was on hand to volley in the Swifts seventh after earlier efforts had struck the crossbar and grazed the upright.

Valarino and Nicolas Sandoval were again creative in midfield with Bevan Shelley pushing up from centre back to give the Swifts the extra man going forward.

Sandoval was unlucky to have a goal ruled out for offside after a good build up.

Andrew Monteith was solid at the back and Matthew Monteith did well when he came on for his league debut for the Swifts.

The Swifts player of the day was Joseph Dew at an unfamiliar right back position who had a good tussle with his opposite.
