Chasing the Swans' respectable total of 130, Longford captain Jackson Blair sprung into action, whacking 85 not out off 71 balls - his highest score of the season.
The 23-year-old wicket-keeper has continued on his form following a ground-breaking football season, scoring 228 runs at an average of 57 in T20s.
Beaconsfield's Tharushan Iddamalgoda collected his fourth T20 half-century with 60 off 49 in the first innings, eagerly assisted by Ramesh Nimantha's run-a-ball 26, while Bradley Arnol was the only multiple wicket-taker of the match with 2-29 off three.

ACL's total of 135 at University Oval was also chased down with relative ease by Trevallyn, courtesy of a stunning individual performance from Daniel Kirk.
With the ball, Kirk played a hand in the first three dismissals: a caught and bowled, a run out and a catch that found Tyson Miller, before the opening batter knocked up a 37-ball half-century with the stick.
ACL duo John Kedey and Danny Bennett proved their worth in the lower order, both collecting scores in the 30's before Trevallyn wicket-keeper Stuart Brown had a hand in their dismissal.
Rajeev Anand dominated with the ball to fnish with 3-13 of his four overs while ACL's Deepak Singh took two.
