THE inaugural season for the Shepparton Swans’ youth girls’ team has been a false start, with only three matches played as part of the Shepparton District Junior Football League.

The league has pulled up stumps after the announcement of a return to Stage Three restrictions, however was still able to sneak in three rounds of junior football, including a final round on Sunday.

The junior Swans girls took opposition teams, and themselves, by surprise by winning their first two games of the season, however their luck ran out on Sunday when confronted by a much more powerful Shepparton United side.

United held the Swans scoreless and pressed relentlessly into their forward line, scoring 8.21.69 to the Swans’ 0.0.0.

In other results, Echuca United proved too strong for Mooroopna, winning at home 9.13.67 to 2.1.13.
