Swans Exit Cup

Dorset Premier League Cup
Bournemouth Sports 6 Swans 2

Swans suffered a comprehensive 6-2 defeat against Bournemouth Sports at Chapel Gate in The Jewson Dorset Premier League Cup.

Bournemouth Sports came close to breaking the deadlock when Hibbs produced a smart save to deny Voisey. Swans took the lead against the run of play when following neat passing football from Lightbown-Smith and Keates, Cody Moore hit a volley from long range which found the top corner for a superb goal. Swans only held the lead for 3 minutes when Jack Voisey equalised from close range. Cody Moore once again went close and the hosts should have taken the lead but Jack Voisey shot wide from the penalty spot. Swans were undone from set pieces when James Trimble headed home from a corner and James Bergin headed home from a free kick following a save from Hibbs. H.T.3-1.

The hosts increased their lead through Matt Gane from close range, however Swans nearly reduced the arrears when Blake Hughes hit the foot of the post with a good shot which beat keeper Nippard. Sports confirmed their place in the next round when James Trimble completed his brace with number five. Swans pulled a goal back when Ocean Smith turned in a cross from Olly Smith. Sam Darlow scored number six for the home side to complete a comprehensive cup victory against a disappointing Swans display.

The Swans' miserable afternoon was complete when they had the influential Dec Keates stretchered off with a ankle injury late in the game.
