WAFL: Swan Districts take on East Perth without Matt Riggio

Staff reporterHills Avon Valley Gazette

SWAN Districts returns to Leederville Oval for the second time in a week this Saturday to take on competition improver East Perth in round 21 of the WAFL.

Swans are coming off a loss to league leader Subiaco and will be without Matt Riggio, who was banned for two games for rough conduct against the Lions.

East Perth will be hoping to continue their winning form and atone for the loss against the black and whites the last time they met in round 14.
