Swanage went into this match with a 100% record and having beaten AFC Bournemouth 2-0 in the reverse fixture last week and were pleased to welcome back regular goalkeeper Ricky Scott from injury.

The start was delayed slightly due to traffic problems encountered by the Bournemouth squad on the way and that may have been the reason for their slow start as Colin Pearce prodded Swanage ahead in the opening 30 seconds with his first touch. The game then settled down into an even contest and 12 minutes later Bournemouth equalised with a long range strike. Shortly afterwards Andy Vince regained the lead for Swanage as the Bournemouth keeper allowed a shot to squirm under his body and with Mark Kilby scoring just afterwards Swanage went into the break 3-1 to the good.

Bournemouth started the second half in purposeful fashion and reduced the arrears however Swanage then began to control the match with Ivor Hughes pulling the strings in midfield and three further strikes from Kilby enable them to build an unassailable lead.
Swanage always looked comfortable in defence with Brian Hunt and Colin Pearce putting in sterling performances.

The game was put to bed in the final minute when Colin Blackmore latched onto a fine through ball from Hughes to make it 7-2.
