A LOSS failed to dampen the spirits of Pete Swinton as he celebrated his 200th game for Barwon Heads at the weekend.<\/p>\n
Swinton walked onto the ground through a guard of honour with his boys Ted and Evan on Saturday, and was then carried off afterwards in front of a big\u00a0crowd who took to their feet to cheer him on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI loved walking out with my boys, it will be something I\u2019ll remember forever,\u201d Swinton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was good to have my whole family and friends there to support me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Swinton said the game proved too tough for his Seagulls, who went down to Modewarre, 10.12.72 to 8.10.58.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would have loved to win but the beer still tasted the same,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were always going to be hard to knock off, but hopefully we\u2019ll get them next game.\u201d Swinton said he celebrated with his club after the game, who presented him with a framed jumper, the game ball and a certificate recognising his 200-game achievement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
