Bragging rights for Corfe............

Swans 2 Corfe Castle 3
Swans suffered a 3-2 defeat at Day's Park against Purbeck rivals Corfe Castle in their first ever meeting in The Dorset Premier League.

The visitors got off to a flying start scoring after 40 seconds when Swans Keeper Beeston let Ryan Cattano's speculative shot squirm under his body. Ten minutes later Corfe doubled their lead with a carbon copy mistake by Beeston which resulted in top scorer Courtney Johnstone scoring his sides second. Swans managed to claw their way back in the game when Charles Daries slotted home following a good ball from Clark. Corfe should have increased their interval lead when they missed 2 great chances. H.T. 1-2.

Swans Equalised on 58 minutes with a penalty from Garan Bennett after Dyke was fouled in the box following a good run, it was now game on. But 2 minutes later disaster struck again for Beeston when he fumbled a cross which Courtney Johnstone was on hand to hook home.

Swans dominated the rest of the game with wave after wave of attacks and Rose-Moore hit the post when clean through then Corfe had a let off with the ball being cleared off the line. However Corfe proved to be dangerous on the break and Flockton should have scored with a header when well placed. The Swans were unable to break down the visitors resolute defence so Corfe held on for an historic win at Day's Park.

Corfe's manager, ex Swan Martin Patterson will be delighted with the win while his former team mate Tim Brown will be bitterly frustrated with the result, although the performance was a massive improvement from Saturday's draw at Wareham.
