HERMIT Park may have stalled their start but it was Curra who were punished when their game broke down at halftime of their final regular-season RSM AFL Townsville clash.

Up by 42-points at the first term and holding the Tigers scoreless, the Swans looked to be doing it easy.

But their hopes of getting the better of the yellow-and-black came to a screeching halt, kicking just 1.9 for the remainder of the game to implode 11.8 (74) to 7.17 (59) at Neil French Oval.

While they could only come up with a solitary second-quarter goal, the Swans held the advantage in the scrappy affair until the final term when the Chas Reinhardt and Andrew Grubba-inspired Hermit Park blew by the tri-colours for a confidence-building come-from-behind win on the eve of the finals.

Likewise, minor-premiers Thuringowa left it late to get the better University 12.14 (86) to 9.8 (62) at Tony Ireland Stadium on Saturday.

HERMIT PARK 0.0 6.2 7.2 11.8 (74)
