Saints players add fire power to Swans line-up while one led the Rebels cause

Three Quebec Saints players lined up in Swans colours last weekend and although Ottawa didn't come away with the four points the boys from Montreal proved they're good enough to mix it with the best.
Mick Lacy lined up in the forward line and after a goaless first quarter by the Swans, Mick stepped up a gear in the 2nd and led the Swans charge back into the game. The Swans slammed on 3 goals in the 2nd quarter, 2 of those off the boot of Lacy who easily beat his opponent and was proving a headache for the Rebels down forward.

Not to be outdone, Shane Blight started on the Half Back line and had a dominant first half, Picking up countless possesions Shane was easily amongst the best players. His complete dominance helping keep the Swans within 6 points of the Rebels at half time. The Swans coach made a key move at half-time switching Shane into the midfield to capatilize on his stellar performance. Unfortunately Shane was injured in the third quarter, not surprisingly the Swans chances of a win vanished as Shane left the field and with the lack of ball coming into the forward line Mick Lacy was helpless up front to stop the landslide, the Swans on the end of a 55 point hiding.

The Rebels dominant win was helped along the way by Saints player Cam Stark, running rampant through the midfield Cam broke free in the second half and was one of the main reasons for the 2nd half onslaught slotting through several goals of his own.
