CHRIS Leak's last-ditch drop-goal attempt nearly stole a victory for Swanage and Wareham in their Powergen South West Division Two East 10-10 draw at Windsor.

With memories evoked of Johnny Wilkinson's kick that secured England's World Cup glory, sadly for Leak, his effort drifted agonisingly wide of the upright to ensure the points were shared in a fierce clash.

While Swans could count themselves unlucky to come away with a draw, in the face of Windsor's powerful pack, on reflection it perhaps a point gained rather than one dropped.

The home side edged ahead inside two minutes as Swans were penalised at a line-out and Duncan Steele slotted over a penalty.

But the visitors capitalised on a handling error from the Windsor scrum-half as flanker Trevor Ford plunged on the ball to register his first league try for the club.

Phil Graves added the extra two points without fuss as Swans held their four-point cushion to the interval.

Graves was on hand again early in the second half to extend the lead by a further three points when Windsor were caught offside in front of their posts.

But it was the Berkshire club who were the more dangerous as Steele produced a fleet-footed break to skip through and add the conversion himself to level the scores.

Despite some huge pressure from the home club, Swans held firm and went close to grabbing the win when Leak's late attempt failed.

Swans seconds earned a comfortable 22-10 win over North Dorset while the thirds secured a 12-3 victory over Wimborne thirds.

The fourths went down narrowly 17-15 at Dorchester thirds.

Bournemouth stormed to the top of Powergen South West Division Two East as they ran in eight tries to blitz High Wycombe 52-10.

The new-look Lions have made an excellent start to the new season after their promotion from Southern Counties South last term and produced a terrific performance on the road with winger Scott Chislett grabbing a fine hat-trick.

Francois van Schalkwyk, fresh from his five-try haul last weekend, opened the scoring after just three minutes before Chislett opened his account for the day five minutes later.

The home side briefly rallied to haul the score back to 12-10 as half-time approached.

But it was one-way traffic after that as Chislett added a second and Sam Hardcastle touched down before the break.

After the interval, Bournemouth's direct running and miserly defending ensured a one-sided second period as Robert Bruce, Dan Cawley (2), Chislett completed his hat-trick and Simon McFarlane kicked 12 points to edge to the summit of the division on points difference.

The Lions take a break from their league campaign when they host Brixham at Chapel Gate in the Powergen Intermediate Cup second round this weekend.

Bournemouth: Flynn, Chislett, Bruce (Edwards, 70), Cawley, van Schalkwyk, McFarlane, Hardcastle, Ingram, Morris, Awdas (Sturgess, 65), Seward, Kenny (Hicks, 65), Harris, Kiely, Hokianga.

Bournemouth's second string also produced some fireworks in Dorset and Wiltshire One South with a 48-5 win at Puddletown, while the thirds went down to a 10-5 home reverse to Wheatsheaf Cabin Crew

Oakmeadians suffered a 23-5 reverse at Marlow in their wind-affected league encounter.

The Buckinghamshire-based club used the conditions intelligently and raced into a 14-0 lead at the break.

Although Oaks were keen to make the most of the wind at their backs in the second period, Marlow stretched their lead further with a penalty before Chris Walton got the visitors on the scoreboard as he darted over the line.

But despite good possession, Oaks were left counting the cost of a succession of handling errors as Marlow added late points to ease home.

Oaks: Wedge, Reed, Puzas, Tuilui, Dunford (Eustace), Harman (Tisshaw), Walton, Riley, Gallagher, Clarke, Noble, Croker, Stephenson (Blewitt), Zwignen, Hennings.

The seconds produced a disciplined display as they roared to a 19-0 win over Salisbury seconds, while the thirds crashed to a 44-5 loss at home to Salisbiry thirds. Oaks Ladies went down 32-19 at Richmond.
