COMBE DOWN 43pts SWANAGE & WAREHAM 7pts
​​Swanage & Wareham visited Combe Down in this re-arranged fixture from February 29th, with a make shift team as most of the first team had arranged other things to do
​​Swans started well, but after 4 minutes a breakaway by Combe Down had the hosts scoring under the posts.(7pts – nil). However Swans had a penalty to the Combe Down 22 and from a line out on 15 minutes Swans loose forward Ben Dennett forced his way over the try line. Winger Rory Ferguson landed the conversion.(7pts all). Almost from the restart Swans tried to clear their lines, but a charge down
by the hosts resulted in a second try.(14pts – 7pts). From thereon it was all Combe Down​ as they scored three tries in the first half taking the Half time score to 31pts – 7pts.
​Two minutes into the second half Combe Down added to their score with a converted try(38pts-7pts) and 5 minutes later a try in the corner made the score 43pts- 7pts. However Swans managed to halt the scoring by the hosts, and by keeping the ball in the forwards Swans held out for the last 30 minutes, and once or twice came close to scoring.
