Match report: Swans hold off brave Blues in nailbiter
July 23, 2016 4:20 PM
THE SYDNEY Swans have relied on a consummate performance by midfield star Josh Kennedy to score an unconvincing six-point win over a feisty Carlton at a wind-swept SCG on Saturday.
Kennedy was a pillar of strength, gathering 35 touches – 23 contested – as well 12 clearances, six tackles and a goal to guide the Swans to a 10.14 (74) to 10.8 (68) victory.
Lance Franklin scored four goals for the Swans in another strong showing around half-forward, while Xavier Richards was a serviceable foil with two goals in his first game of the season.
