Swans suffered a 3-1 defeat at Day's Park against title contenders Sturminster Newton United in The Dorset Premier League.

Swans played some neat passing football against the strong and very direct and effective style of the visitors. Swans Cody Moore was a constant danger on the right-hand side with his pace and went close on two occasions with a shot just over the bar and then denied by keeper Crane. However the Cherries took the lead on 12 minutes when Aaron Lane-Leney ran through and lobbed keeper Taylor. The Swans responded 3 minutes later with a superb leveller from Ocean Smith who hit a vicious shot from 25 yards that keeper Crane could only palm into the top corner. H.T. 1-1.

In the second half both sides missed and created chances in an end to end contest. The Cherries produced the breakthrough on the hour when Ashley Clark headed home from close range. Swans pushed hard for the equaliser and went close from a well worked free kick by Marcus and Ocean Smith but the latter was off target with his finish. The visitors secured the points in the last minute when George Coleman dispatched a penalty following a foul.

A very entertaining match under the lights at Day's Park and a fully committed display by the Swans in their final game.
