Five Star Away Win

Bournemouth Sports 2 Swans 5

Swans produced a battling performance to defeat Bournemouth Sports 5-2 at Chapel Gate in the Dorset Premier League.

Manager Jamie Smith made two changes from last week with Jake Streams and Sam Peacock replacing Dan Reeks (suspended) and Dec Keates (unavailable) with Ocean Smith returning to the bench.

The Swans made a bright start and Brassington went close with a long range shot, they deservedly went ahead on 8 minutes when Peacock cleverly held off his opponent and fed Jack Hughes to score from close range. The hosts equalised through Jamie Trimble with a great header leaving keeper Hibbs helpless. Charlie Brassington put the Swans ahead on 35 minutes rifling home a free kick from the edge of the box. H.T. 1-2

Peacock had a great chance but missed the target from close range following a free kick and
Sports had a great chance for the equaliser but were denied by the post. Swans were dealt a blow when Cohen Lee was shown a contentious red card on 53 minutes. Sam Peacock increased his side's lead with a close range header following a corner. However 2 minutes later Sports reduced the arrears with a cross come shot from Jamie Trimble that deceived Swans keeper Hibbs, however he had to be at his best to deny the now determined hosts with 2 fine saves. Although 10 men Swans were under pressure they increased their lead when substitute Ocean Smith capitalised on a mistake by Sports keeper Davies to roll the ball into an empty net. Following a good pass from Peacock substitute Ocean Smith completed his brace when he chipped the advancing keeper Davies to complete a great away win for the gallant 10 men Swans.

A superb away win with only one defeat in eleven games for Jamie Smith's men.
