SWANAGE & Wareham secured the Southern Counties South championship in style with a 38-8 triumph at derby rivals Wimborne.
A hat-trick from Charlie Rowberry and tries from Callum Baird, Will Corsie and Phil Graves saw Swans cruise to a comfortable 19th success out of 20 league matches this season.
Nearest rivals Salisbury did all they could to heap on the pressure with an 81-5 victory at Bradford-on-Avon but nothing could stop the Bestwall juggernaut from securing the title with two games to play.
Any pre-match jitters at Leigh Park soon got quashed when fly-half Charlie Parish set up full-back Baird for the opening Swans try within a minute. Wimborne's James Mikolajewski and Parish traded penalties before loose-forward Corsie's catch-and-drive and winger Rowberry's efforts made it 18-3 at the interval.
Parish's penalty further extended the lead after the restart with Graves forcing his way through for Swanage's bonus-point try.
Wimborne broke through the Swans 22 with a catch-and-drive to go over in the corner with 50 minutes on the clock but the visitors again upped the ante with Rowberry's second coming as a result of a passing move along the backs.
A break from the centre saw Parish set up Rowberry's third under the posts with before adding the extras with the boot for 38-8.
The title success sees Swanage & Wareham promoted to Tribute South West One West, the sixth level of rugby union's pyramid and one level below Bournemouth's first team.
