SWANS V ROCKHAMPTON BROTHERS AFL Yeppoon Swans completed a clean sweep against Rockhampton Brothers to win all grades. A graders had a good day out with the old firm of Hawke, Wallin and Cam Watkin dominating center clearances at will. Roughy on the wing found a lot of space and at times his only opponent was the mangrove trees. Banksey was well and truly off the chain, gaining leather poisoning as brothers big men could not go with him. Up forward Dan Watkin in his first game for the season was dangerous as was Emmsy, Nichols, Havi and Alby. Eccles in his first senior appearance was solid, as was young guns Bassey and Zepp in the 120 point win. Reserve grade also had a big win as they push to qualify for finals, with a 76 point thrashing. Havi had a day out kicking 6 majors, a couple were even drop punts.

Young leaders McKenzie and Goth were inspirational and are in career best form, as their hard work on the training track starting to pay off. The Swanettes were on fire from the start and began the match with an avalanche of goals and never looked back. Three first quarter goals from Evelyn and the domination of the middle by Erin, Josie and Katie tackling like a machine set up the win.
