Swifts' run in the FA Trophy goes on after goals at either end of a hard-fought first round tie at Garden Walk on Saturday (29 October) when they pulled off another cup giant-killing act in what is becoming a memorable season.

After beating Step Three opposition in the last round (a feat they ealso achieved earlier in the season in the FA Cup) Swifts again took on opposition from a higher league.

The visitors made a great start to the match against their Southern Premier Central opponents and opened the scoring after just four minutes when Rhys Henry was on hand with an accomplished finish after being set up by great work from Ross Wall.

And creator turned goalscorer in the 80th minute when the ball fell to Wall at the far post and he produced a brilliant finish to secure Swifts' place in Monday's second round draw.
