SWANAGE & WAREHAM 50pts CORSHAM 0pts
Swanage & Wareham had a home game last Saturday, as they welcomed Corsham to Bestwall. It was a close game early on, but once Swans got on top it was a comfortable victory.
A few penalties to each side made both teams defend well, but on 12 minutes one to Swans took them to the Corsham 5 metres line, and from the line the ball was passed along Swans backs to winger George Crouch who touched down in the corner. Swans were now on top at the scrums driving the Corsham backwards, and from a scrum inside the visitors 22, the ball went blindside to Swans other winger Ollie Dillon who scored. Crouch added the extras (12pts – nil) after 20 minutes. Five minutes later another scrum close to the Corsham line was held up but a pass to scrum half Olly Peters scored close to the posts. Crouch converted. 19pts-nil. A few penalties to Corsham releaved the pressure, but Swans still dominated the play and a break by wing forward Lee Hardy close to half time had Swans going into the break at Swans 26pts Corsham 0pts.
At the start of the second half a penalty to Corsham did not find touch, the ball was worked to centre Ed Dimascio who burst through the visitors defence to score out wide.(31pts – nil) after 43 minutes. However Corsham came back with some backs moves, and Swans defence had to be on their guard, with some hard tackling, but Corsham could not get through. On 58 minutes a brilliant move along Swans three –quarters had George Crouch going in for his second try out wide to put Swans on 36pts. From another scrum on the 22 Swans drove Corsham backwards, and once again scrum half Olly Peters was on hand to score. Crouch converted.(43pts-nil) after 65 minutes.
