Swift Current's contingent at Bantam Box Lacrosse Nationals dropped their opener this morning to their provincial neighbours to the east.

The trio of Marshal Clothier, Paul Piche, and Isaac Froese, along with Team Sask, lost 10-3 to Team Manitoba.

Clothier was the lone Swift player to find the stat sheet, scoring a second-period goal which, at the time, cut Manitoba's lead to 5-2.

They're back at it tomorrow morning for Game 2 in Saskatoon when they face Team Ontario.
