Swans Well Beaten

Wimborne Town Reserves 3 Swans 0

Swans suffered their third consecutive Dorset Premier League defeat against title contenders and promotion rivals Wimborne Town Reserves. The game was played on the 4G pitch next door to The New Cuthbury ground due to the pitch being waterlogged.

The hosts dominated large periods of the first half and Swans keeper Hibbs produced vital saves especially from the dangerous Chipangura. However, Swans had a great chance to take the lead when Tornianen missed the target following his burst through the Magpies' defence. The hosts took the lead on 36 minutes when Chipangura fired home from close range. The Magpies doubled their lead a minute before the interval when Waters side footed home from close range. H.T. 2-0.

The second half was played out in a similar fashion and apart from near misses by Tornianen and White very few chances were created by the visitors. The hosts secured the points with number three from Sheehy and left the Swans disappointed with their performance and result.
