SWANAGE and Wareham sailed to the top of South West Two East with an emphatic 39-0 thrashing of Tadley.

The Bestwall side were forced to make six changes from the side that beat Salisbury the previous weekend, but were soon in front after Dave Burgess crashed over from a potent catch-and-drive.

Phil Graves added a penalty for Swans midway through the first half, before fly-half James Harris finished a flowing three-quarter move with a touch down under the posts.

Then, five minutes before the break, Swans' impressive pack drove the Tadley forwards back and Burgess was again on hand to score the five-pointer.

Mike McKeown continued Swans' good work after the restart, before Chris Leak tumbled over in the corner to make it 34-0.

Chris Tomes, playing at two in place of injured skipper Robert Elford, took the final plaudits with a try just before the final whistle.

Swans: Wilcox, Leak, Graves, Grove, Parish, Harris, McKeown (S Andrews, 65), O Andrews (Rance, 69), Tomes, Peters, Burgess, Snowden, Cottrill (Sheldrake, 72), Steeden, Harwood.
