Liz Osborne's penalty for Swallows was saved by Carla Pedro, but Swallows soon took the lead through Jenny Burrell from a short-corner routine.

Bluebirds had several attacking chances as the ball was fed through by Sarah Maltby to the forward line but they were unable to get past the Swallows' defence.
Kirsty Kelly rounded off the scoring for Swallows after she ran into the circle to put away the ball after it had deflected off the 'keeper's pads.
