Reserves clinch second place with final touch
Sway Reserves 6 Bisterne United 1
Bournemouth Hayward League Division 1
Saturday 25th March 2017
The Reserves started this final league game knowing that a win by five clear goals would earn them a second place finish in Division 1. This unlikely scenario looked almost impossible after the first half finished goalless.
Even more so when the visitors went ahead with an early volley. But the Reds began to find their mojo and the goals started to flow. Top scorer Jack Herbert bagged two, rounding the keeper to put Sway 2-1 up. Tom Linbourne missed a penalty before three more goals were added by Harry Boyt, Aaron Hurdle and Joel Fields. The final and decisive goal was scored with literally the last touch of the game, tucked in at the far post by Joel Fields after the keeper could only parry the cross.
Sway Reserves: Rob Old, Harry Boyt, Nick Broom, Jake Fields, Joel Fields, Lee Gilbert, Jack Herbert, Aaron Hurdle, Paul Jordan, Tom Linbourne, Rhys Williams. Substitutes: Lee Baxter, Liam Miller, Ryan Sheppard.
