U18s lose out after impressive start
Sway U18s 4 Bitterne U18s 6
CSYFL Division 2
Sunday 12th March 2017
Sway got off to a great start as Jack Frankcom fired us ahead early on and then played in Joss Whitehorn for the second. We were in control of most of the game with Frankcom set up on several occasions through long cross-field balls. But we were caught out when the visitors' attacker was allowed to dribble through our defence to make it 2-1 at half time.
The Reds dominated the early exchanges of the second half and could have gone further ahead if chances could have been converted. Bitterne then equalised with a superb long-range effort and then took the lead from a penalty. Frankcom came close when his header looped on to the bar before the visitors made it 4-2 from a corner. Luke Lewis pulled one back after being put through to slot past the keeper. However, Sway had lost control of the midfield and conceded two more before Dan Yates scrambled home a consolation goal following a corner.
