Close one for Swans
CARAMUT narrowly missed out on a second senior football win for the season at home on Saturday, going down to Hawkesdale Macarthur by just four points.
The Eagles took the win, 10.13.73 to 10.9.69 but had to work hard for it.

The day had a sombre start, with both clubs honouring the life of former Caramut club member Sam McRae.
