    Just before halftime Swallows left wing Glenville Lewis cut through the Easterns defence and passed to lock forward Lucas Wendell who scored, taking the half time score to 22–16 in Swallows’ favour.

    In the second half tables were looking to turn as Phumlani managed to covert three penalties and a drop kick. In the dying minutes Swallows squeezed in to score an unconverted try.

    The game  proved to be equally contested by both teams as the final score ended Swallows 27–28 Easterns. Swallows  coach Phillip Oerson says “There is still room for improvement.

    We are taking it game by game.” Eastern’s Manager Mzukisi Mali says “Our  boys played well and they sustained a lot of pressure.
