TIPPERARY MAN Colin O’Riordan was in the thick of the action for Sydney Swans earlier as they clinched a thrilling three-point win over the Crows at the Adelaide Bowl.
The home side fought back in the final quarter as they attempted to close a 20-point deficit.
But the Swans hung on for a 74-71 victory in the behind-closed-doors clash.
Elsewhere, Zach Tuohy from Laois and Kerry native Mark O’Connor lined out as Geelong lost out to Greater Western Sydney. The Giants ultimately ran out 32-point winners in their season opener.
Tuohy was named amongst the Cats’ best players while O’Connor kicked a goal.
Tomorrow sees Conor Nash’s Hawthorn side take on the Brisbane Lions.
