Swifts boss Dave Greene said: "This is one of the biggest competitions that you can be involved with at this level, there are a lot of quality sides in the competition so we want to win it.

"We've been fortunate to have a couple of matches called off recently so we have been able to work on a couple of things in training.

"There was such a jam of fixtures before that and trying to work on our problems was not possible, but with the postponements we've been able to have a good couple of training sessions."
