Swanage Town & Herston 3 Bridport Reserves 0
Swans secured a comprehensive 3-0 win at Day's Park against Bridport Reserves in The Dorset Premier League.
Swans made the perfect start after 3 minutes when Charlie Brassington scored with a calm finish following a great pass from Cody Moore. The hosts suffered a blow after 16 minutes when Cody Moore had to be replaced by Sam Willcocks due to injury, however this change didn't upset the flow of the game with Willcocks playing a prominent part. Swans doubled their lead with Dan Reeks firing past the keeper following a pass from Sam Peacock. H.T. 2-0.
Swans raced out of the blocks for the second half and Bees keeper Mark Cuff produced a great save to deny Sam Peacock. Swans were now in the ascendancy and the impressive Charlie Brassington scored number three and completed his brace with an exquisite lob from fully 40 yards that totally deceived keeper Cuff. Swans trio of Brassington, Keates and Lee were bossing the midfield and Streams was always dangerous marauding down the left wing from his full back starting point. Brassington long range shot just cleared the cross bar with the keeper beaten. Swans keeper Taylor Hibbs enjoyed a quiet afternoon and Cohen Lee missed the target when well placed in the final minutes.
A good performance and three deserved points for the impressive Swans.
