Coolamon continued to build the lead from there and eventually came away with a 54-42 win to send the Swans to the minor semi-final against Collingullie GP.
It was a tough Saturday for the A Reserve side, who fell to a 56-40 defeat to Turvey Park while the under-17s will also head to the minor semi-final after they fell to the Wagga Tigers.
