Comprehensive Away Win..........

Balti Sports 0 Swans 6

The Swans dominated from start to finish in a comprehensive 6-0 away victory against Balti Sports in The Dorset Premier League, inflicting Balti's fifth consecutive home defeat.

Cody Moore was at the heart of the action early on, creating a dangerous chance that was well saved by Balti keeper Harrison Wood.

The Swans took the lead through a brilliant combination between Cody Moore and Josh Reavenall Neute, with Cody Moore making a great run before delivering a precise pass to Josh Reavenall-Nuete, who finished coolly inside the box to make it 1-0 to the Swans.

Cody Moore was involved again in the second goal, outpacing the defender and rounding the keeper before slotting home for a 2-0 lead.

The third goal came from a long throw by Stephen Pryor, which led to Paul Best smashing home a rebound after the keeper's initial save. This was Best's first game of the season, and he made an immediate impact. Unfortunately Cody Moore had to be replaced after 35 minutes due to feeling unwell, but the Swans didn't slow down.

Stephen Pryor added a fourth goal with a towering header following a well delivered cross. Paul Best completed his brace and the Swans' fifth from close range just before half time, leaving Balti Sports with no way back. H.T. 0-5

In the second half, the Swans continued to press. Charlie Pitt narrowly missed after a good cross from Best, while Swans keeper Taylor Hibbs made an important save to preserve the clean sheet. Best came close to completing his hat-trick but sent his shot just wide of the post. With 15 minutes remaining, Kadin Jacques replaced Taylor Hibbs in goal, marking Hibbs encouraging return from a long-term injury.

The Swans completed the rout with a stunning half-volley from 20 yards from Charlie Pitt to make it 6-0. Balti Sports' miserable run continued, having now conceded 29 goals and scored only 1 in their last five home matches.

Swans manager Craig Adams praised his team after the match, saying, “The young lads did the football club proud today walking wounded but the heart, energy, and discipline weren't lacking. Very proud. We move on"

This emphatic victory means the Swans have now won four of their previous five games, moving up the table nicely. Swans' first-half dominance and solid all-around performance secured a commanding win, putting them in great shape as they look ahead to their next fixture
