Griffiths hits double to down Swifts

The second half saw Swifts play very good hockey, preventing Swallows from creating scoring opportunities and producing a few themselves.

Swallows' second goal came from an error by Swifts -- Liz Osborne picking up the ball in midfield and running it into the Swifts' D, her shot being deflected in by Griffiths.

Swifts pulled a goal back late on, Kathie Shaw smacking home a rebound.
