Byrne too hot for Swan Test

Leaders Western Knights continue to fire on all cylinders in the Men's State League Division One as Ciaran Byrne's hat-trick helped maintain top spot with a 6-0 win at Swan United.

Jake Sardelic opened the scoring before Byrne netted his first with a nice turn and strike in the area.

The former Armadale played completed a brace inside half an hour after his initial header hit the bar before last season's top scorer Alex Kretowicz opened his account for 2021 from a 44th minute corner.

Swan offered more resistance after the restart until Knights added two late goals. Dean Hurley netted his third in as many games with a firm finish into the corner, before Byrne moved three clear in the Golden Boot race with his seventh of the year to complete the rout.
