Swans concede 5 at home.........

Swans 0 Gillingham Town 5

Swans suffered a 5-0 defeat to Gillingham Town at Day's Park in The Dorset Premier League.

Swans and their visitors Gillingham were even in the first 25 minutes with very few chances being created. The in-form Gills destroyed The Swans in a 4 minute spell scoring 3 times through Aaron Rodriguez, Buddy O'Shea and Elliot Bevis. The home side were now playing catch up and found it very difficult to break down the Gills defence. H.T. 0-3.

Swans improved in the second half but keeper James Langdon had to produce 2 smart saves to keep the visitors at bay. Elliot Bevis completed his brace and his side's fourth goal after 71 minutes. The nearest the Swans came to scoring was a long range shot from Jamie Harlowe and efforts from Cody Rose-Moore and George Sparrow. With 2 minutes remaining Aaron Rodriguez completed his brace with his sides fifth goal to secure the 3 points.

Plus points for the Swans were Dan Godwin's return to fitness after a long absence and a first team debut for 16 year old Henry Nix.
