Swans Exit DPL Cup

Swans were beaten 4-0 at Day's Park by Blandford United in the first round of The Dorset Premier Cup.

Blandford raced into a 2 goal lead in the first 5 minutes through Dan Rogers and Paul Ford and increased their lead further on 20 minutes courtesy of Joe Wells. Swans never really recovered from this early bombshell and only produced a few long range efforts from Dave Best, Cody Moore and Paul Best. H.T. 0-3.

Swans produced an improved performance in the second half and although gained the majority of possession they lacked the killer instinct to produce the goals. The home side battled to the end but were undone in the 85th minute by a quick break from Paul Ford who ran through to score his second goal and send his side through to the second round.
