Most of the A grade side missed the match due to work commitments with only two regular A grade players able to make the trip.
The low numbers saw some Swans play three games on the day.
The silver lining of it was it gave Griffith the chance to blood some young players.
Jenna Richards came into the A grade side from the juniors and shot superbly.
Keira Argus also played up and helped in the shooting circle.
The defensive players, Abbey Josling and Pip Wordsworth, were always going to be up against it as both shooters had height on their side.
Regular A grader Renae Larkin was helped by, Mel Toscan, Lauren Brain and Zoe Cunial in the middle.
Collingullie-GP sit atop the A grade ladder and the coaching staff were pleased with the effort put in by the girls and how they dealt with the tough circumstances.
