SWANAGE and Wareham's South West Two East promotion hopes were boosted further thanks to a 62-12 thrashing of lowly Tadley.

Swans ran in nine tries, Mike Cottrell scoring his first senior touch down in the first minute to give Phil Graves's side the perfect start.

Further scores from Dave Burgess, Charlie Parish, Dave Elford, Cottrell's second, Charlie Rowberry's first try for the club, Ryan Cottrell, Joe Grove and Mark Woolley eased Swans to victory.

Stand-in captain Graves, donning the armband due to Robert Elford's absence through injury, put in a stunning performance with the boot.

Swans: D Elford, Rowberry, Grove, M Cottrell, Parish, Graves, Woolley, Sheldrake (Woodard, 70), Rance, O Andrews, Burgess, R Cottrell, Harwood, Tomes, M Elford (Lewis, 34). Unused sub: S Andrews.

  • Swans' seconds kept their Dorset and Wilts One South title hopes alive by beating Wimborne 24-0.

Jason Chadwick (2), Gareth Iles and Tom Richings were the try-scorers with Jon Blackmore bagging two kicks.
