Entertaining 2-2 draw............

Swans gained a point at Sturminster Newton United with a 2-2 draw in The Dorset Premier League.

Swans started the better of the sides with Cody Rose-Moore, Elliott Parslow and Paul Best all going close. Barnes, Dave Best and Clark were showing tenacity in midfield and the defence looked untroubled, however it was the home side who took the lead after 26 minutes with a far post header from George Coleman. A minute later Swans were on level terms when Elliot Parslow was tripped and Joe Clarke (pictured above) converted the resulting penalty.

Keeper James Langdon had to be at his best making a smart save to prevent the home side from taking the lead. Swans were dealt a blow when The Cherries took the lead with another far post header from Harry Boulton a minute before the interval. H.T. 2-1.

Swans dominated long periods of the second half with Dave Best missing the target when well placed and had another shot cleared off the line by the overworked Sturminster defence. Sturminster nearly increased their lead when a speculative shot hit the crossbar. Swans suffered a major blow after 60 minutes when Paul Best was injured and had to be substituted. The visitors increased the pressure on the home side and were rewarded in the 86th minute when Joe Clarke hit a superb free kick into the top corner for a well deserved point.
