Swanage Town & Herston FC

28.07.10 - PRE SEASON FRIENDLY RESULT

Swanage Town & Herston 1 Bournemouth Sports 4

Swans slipped to another home pre season defeat this time at the hands of Bournemouth Premier League outfit Bournemouth Sports. Swans were managed by Jamie Holland and Dave Barlow as Jason Phillips and Henry Simpson were unavaliable due to prior engagements.

Swans looked to use the game to experiment with players and formations and especially after half time Swanage had Sports on the back foot for long periods. However over the whole course of the game Bournemouth used the ball better and were more clinical in front of goal.

Swans only goal was scored by Mark Wheeler. The result, although disapointing should not be viewed as a total disaster. It was always Jason's intention to use half his players tonight and half tomorrow night in the friendly match against Springfield.
