SWANAGE & Wareham were left to rue a host of injuries and unavailability as they were crushed 52-10 by Buckingham in South West One East.

The Bestwall boys, unbeaten in their past three games, soon found themselves 10-0 adrift, before captain Robert Elford was carried off with a calf injury after just 15 minutes.

And although Charlie Rowberry slotted over a penalty before half-time, two converted tries for the hosts made it 24-3 at the interval.

Buckingham then increased their lead to 38-3 early in the second half before Rowberry completed a fine individual showing with a converted try to make the score 45-10 10 minutes from time.

But Swans couldn’t capitalise further and yet another converted touch down from the hosts completed the rout.

Swans: Blackmore, Rowberry, Dunsford, A Jones, D Jones, Harris, Tomes, Sheldrake, R Elford (Frampton, 15) Andrews, Burgess, Collins, Warren (Marshallsay, 54), Desmond (Scott, 40), Maginn.

• Wimborne completed a narrow 36-31 win over Melksham in Southern Counties South.

All Blacks: Unwin, Hunt, Billett, Hopkins, Roberts, Huish, Horne, Wareham, Wilkinson, Willingale, Andrews, J Brokenshire, Brown, Mikolajewski, Lennon, Green, Llewellyn.
