Swanley Men 7 - 52 Dartfordians III

Tough day for the swans in their first game at the nest.
A similar pattern to last week, the swans asleep for the first 15 minutes of both halves and coming to life for the end.
Darts punishing the green and white with their well drilled, youthful runs around the edges of the pitch, evading countless tackles.
There were some well put together phases for the swans, but inexperience and out of position players didn't gel well.
Congratulations to our 3 debutants, we look forward to seeing you more and more this season.
There's no way around it. This isn't the start to the season we were hoping for.
A mixture of unavailability, new blood, and a higher league isn't boding well currently. However these swans are persistent, the lads are committed, great numbers at training week in/week out with high morale and PMA, we are in no doubt that the boys will be bringing the W home very soon.

No game for the men next week, but the U13's welcome Folkestone to the nest for their first fixture of the year. Big crowds are forecast.
