Turner Goal Beats The Zebras
Hard Fought 3 Points.......
Sherborne Town Reserves 0 Swans 1
Swans returned from North Dorset with 3 points following a hard fought game with Sherborne Town Reserves in The Dorset Premier League.
Cody Moore went close in the first few minutes with a cross shot that just evaded the far post, however Swans stopper Brad Smith had to be alert to save his side. Pryor saw his header saved by Zebras keeper Sam Hulland then Albie Turner was also denied by the home keeper. Brad Smith again was called into action to deny the home forward with a superb save. H.T. 0-0.
Swans centre back Ogun Gundogdu twice went close with a header that just went wide and a goalmouth scramble following corners. Brad Smith rescued the Swans again when the home side broke from their own half with a counter attack. The breakthrough arrived in the 62nd minute when the lively Albie Turner struck his fierce shot past the helpless Hulland in the visitors' goal.
Cohen Lee had a great chance to double his side's lead but was unable to lift his shot over the advancing keeper. It was left to keeper Smith again to make a vital save in the dying minutes to secure the 3 points and extend the unbeaten run to 12 games. Next week the Swans visit table toppers Bournemouth Sports at Chapel Gate.
Boss Craig Adams said, post match, "Big performance from the lads today. Tough game, a long way from home but another clean sheet and 3 points. Not the nicest game to watch but the boys never stopped running and deserved the win".
