SION Swifts produced a superb attacking display at the Melvin Arena on Saturday afternoon, storming to an emphatic 7–2 victory over north Tyrone rivals, Donemana, in a memorable derby encounter.
The result means Swifts now sit second in the league on ten points, three adrift of current leaders Tullyally Colts, and with one game in hand.
The hosts turned on the style and found the net seven times in a dominant performance.
Leading the charge was Mark Roarty, who continued his impressive goalscoring form by bagging a sparkling hat-trick.
Even more impressively, all three goals came from open play.
Roarty was joined on the scoresheet by Robbie Conway, Davy Conway, Ciaran Slevin and Adam Coyle, with all four players contributing a goal apiece to cap off an excellent team performance.
Despite Donemana finding the net twice, the Swifts proved too strong on the day, delivering a result that will give the squad plenty of confidence moving forward.
A Swifts spokesperson said: "A brilliant team performance from the Sion lads. Well done to everyone involved.
"Thanks to our main sponsors McGillion Motors for their continued support."
Swifts are on the road this weekend when they travel to face their title challengers at Tullyally pitch, with a win seeing the Swifts go joint top.
For Donemana, it was a fourth defeat in five league games and they sit second from bottom on three points.
They host Don Boscos at Donemana Playing Fields on Saturday afternoon.
