Swans Stung By The Bees

Swans 1 Bridport Reserves 2

Swans suffered a 2-1 defeat to Bridport Reserves at Day's Park in The Dorset premier League.

Swans produced a great start scoring after 10 minutes, Frankie White on target from close range following a great pass from Scott Dando. Striker White had a great chance for number 2 but the Bees' stopper Gold produced a good save. The visitors nearly equalised when Middleton went close with a header. Swans were rocked just before the interval when Scott Dando pulled his man back and Josh Hunter made no mistake with the resulting penalty. H.T. 1-1.

Swans were quite disjointed in the second half and the visitors took the lead on 51 minutes through Brandon Scadding. Swans pushed for the equaliser in the last 20 minutes and teenage substitute Jamie Johnston produced some great moments with his intelligent dribbling and shooting. The home side had to play out the last 10 minutes with 10 men when frustrated skipper Paul Best was sin binned for dissent. David Best went close with a long range shot and keeper Gold tipped over a vicious strike from Jamie Johnston, however this proved too little too late against a side who were without a point in their previous 4 games.
