RESULTS:
SWANAGE & WAREHAM 3rd XV v SHERBORNE 2nd
Swans did not have a 1st XV game as Marlborough 2nd could not raise a side, and the 2nd XV were due to play Bournemouth 3rd XV, but they have been thrown out of their league so it was just the Swans 3rd XV that had a game.
After 5 minutes a break by Tom Holland had him passing to George Crouch who went in for the first score. For the next 10 minutes Sherborne attacked the Swans line, but solid defence kept them out. Swans pack started to dominate the play and from a scrum the ball went along Swans backs, out once again to George Crouch who ran in a try under the posts. This was converted (12pts – nil) after 30 minutes. From the restart Swans kicked long into the Sherborne 22, and from a scrum out wide, Swans pack drove over the try line, with hooker Chris Peters claiming the try. Half time score Swans 17pts Sherborne 0pts.
A mistake by Swans had a Sherborne centre breaking clear, he was tackled close to Swans try line, but he managed to move the ball to a winger who scored a try out wide. 17pts – 5pts after 45 minutes. Swans were taking the scrums and after 55 minutes Anthony Crouch went over for Swans bonus point try.(22pts - 5pts). Sherborne were not finished, and a move by their backs had them scoring a good try close to the posts. This was converted 22pts- 12pts after 62 minutes. With ten minutes to go a scrum on the half way line, and a move along Swans three-quarters out to winger Alfy Clay who went in for another try in the corner. From the restart Sherborne kicked deep into Swans half from a penalty, and from the line out the visitors scored their third try. (27pts – 17pts) after 78 minutes. Sherborne tried to run the ball from the restart, and they got as far of their own 22 before Swans winger Tom Holland intercepted the ball and raced clear to score Swans sixth try half way out. Final Score Swans 3rd XV 32 Sherborne 2nd XV 17pts.
