SWANAGE and Wareham had no qualms after they lost 41-9 at home to Rosslyn Park in the EDF Energy National Trophy first round at Bestwall.

The Swans only trailed 15-9 with 20 minutes to go, but they conceded three tries when flanker James Warren was in the sin-bin.

Then the National Division Three outfit and former amateur giants scored a fourth converted try in the final minute to complete a professional job.

Swans captain Robert Elford said: "We have no complaints about James being sin-binned and I don't think James, if he held his hand up, would as well.

"It was a couple of penalties building up in the wrong area. It wasn't just James.

"It was a couple of other lads who got a bit excited as well and to be fair the referee had warned me a sin binning could happen."

Elford, whose side scored three penalties through Phil Graves, added: "We held Rosslyn Park for an hour, but then they really punished us. Fitness was going to tell and they ran in three tries while we were down to 14 men.

"I was very pleased with our performance though. And everyone I have spoken to, including the Rosslyn Park players and supporters, said they felt the scoreline had flattered them."
