Gareth Newman continued as captain for a 2^nd consecutive season. The season started brightly with a 36-30 win at Cardiff and a home victory over Glamorgan Wanderers by 33 points to 29. This however was followed by a very disappointing period of 4 wins and 13 losses. With the threat of relegation looming, Swansea managed to end the season with 6 consecutive league wins before a final day defeat at Glamorgan Wanderers. Having yet again secured the league double over Cardiff it was particularly disappointing to suffer a heavy 39 points to 8 defeat to them in the cup at St Helens. The league double was also achieved over Llandovery. Swansea ended the season in 9^th position out of 14 with a record of played 26, won 12 and lost 14 for a total of 36 points, points for 487, points against 609 with 53 tries scored. Doubles were achieved over Cardiff, Bedwas, Carmarthen Quins and Llandovery.>

During the season Ospreys and Neath prop and future Wales international Craig Mitchell made 5 appearances. Full back Ricky Williams was top points scorer with 97 points (3 tries, 21 penalty goals, 1 drop goal and 8 conversions). Top try scorer was Ben Lewis with 8. 2^nd row Daniel Lloyd Jones made the most appearances with 26. There were farewells to utility back Stuart Thomas (40 appearances) and 2^nd rows Noel Thomas and Ian Evans (103 and 86 appearances respectively).
