Portland United Reserves 3 Swans 5
Swans gained 3 away points at The Weyline Stadium defeating Portland United Reserves in The Dorset Premier League.

Swans were rocked by the hosts who scored 2 goals in the first 15 minutes through Sol Roche and Lee Sharpe, Swans replied when Paul Best went close with a long range shot and Rose-Moore missed a great chance when well placed following good work from Atkinson. Skipper Paul Best reduced the arrears for his side on 33 minutes chasing the ball down and dispossessing the home keeper to fire home. The Swans had keeper Dan Beeston to thank for only being a goal behind at the interval with some smart saves to maintain his recent good form. H.T. 2-1

Swans were level after 50 minutes when Atkinson was fouled and Joe Clarke despatched the resulting penalty for his first goal of the season. Portland hit back when Josh Camp hit a sweet shot into the top corner for a 3-2 lead. Swans showed great character and determination to bounce back for the equaliser when Paul Best beat a couple of players and ran from the half way line to dink the ball over the on rushing keeper for a superb goal. Elliot Parslow put the Swans ahead for the first time with a brilliant strike, hitting a curling shot into the top corner from long range for his first goal of the season. With 2 minutes remaining Aaron Atkinson wrapped up the points with a solo run which took a few deflections and bobbles on the way but the ball found it's way into the net for number 5.

A poor start from the Swans but a great second half to extend their unbeaten run to 3 games.
