back in the second half, and at the end could have secured a win.
It was even for the first ten minutes, but Swans gave away a penalty, which was converted.
Six minutes later, they broke through to score in the corner, Swans looked like they had not played a game(which they hadn’t) and made several mistakes.On 22 minutes Yeovil scored another converted try taking them 15pts ahead. It was all Yeovil, but Swans held them until they gave away another try just before half time, leaving the score at the break, Yeovil 22pts Swans nil.
It got worse for Swans early in the second half as from the kick off Swans were intercepted by a Yeovil winger and he scored in the corner.(27pts – nil). Swans brought on their reserve front row of Chris Peters,Jack Daniels, and Jack Jenner, and it seemed to make a difference.
