Quote: halifaxjohn "1587 was what was announced, Swinton probably brought 20? No disrespect intended with that remark they are at the cross roads of their very existence and well done to those who still support their team.
18 points flatered Swinton, we tired late on, four bombed tries, the score could have been totally different.
I thought it was a very impressive showing, ball moved wing to wing, Reittie two ties and excellent forward play, Tonka, Ben Davies, and Andy Bracek, who to me is one of our unsung players.
For Swinton, three ex Fax players, Barlow, Nanyn and Bowman, Barlow won by a mile, 75 minutes on the pitch, nothing spectacular, but, tackled everybody, took the ball up nearly every time, well done Josh.
ps 20 Swinton supporters is more than Sheffield will bring.'"
Congratulations on the deserved win, you were the better side...no arguments there.
But you are doing Swinton a little disservice by failing to mention the gift of a try in the first half, granted from a very ambitious pass. You have also completely overlooked the try of the match which we scored from Kev Penny and which in itself was worthy of the very fair £15 entry fee.
I had 5 in my car so that amounted to a quarter of the Swinton following which I think even you have to agree is way off the mark and we have a picture taken of the gathering from behind the sticks which confirms there was certainly more than 20, but however few of us we certainly made more noise and showed a greater spirit in supporting our troops than Fax fans did you were very lacklustre indeed.
Like Fax that was only our second run out following a very traumatic close season and quite frankly to come to Fax and go away with the bonus point fills me with plenty of enthusiasm for the season ahead, not many teams will take a point and it's a big improvement on last season for us.
Good luck in your next game.
