BEAMINSTER FC had another mixed week as the firsts continued their poor start to the season but the reserves maintained their unbeaten start.

The Rainbows first team suffered their fourth straight defeat to the new Dorset Division Two season with a 6-1 defeat away at Swanage Reserves.

The Swans scored thanks to goals from Charlie Dyke (2), Steve Pryor, Lucas Poole, Sam Peacock and Luke Fontana whilst Jake Rowland scored a consolation for Beaminster.

In Division Five, the reserves are having a much better time of it and have now won all five of their league games and stit top of the table.

Their latest victims were West moors FC who were beaten 4-0 away from home.

The Rainbows first goal from Robin Jones, who got on the end of a bouncing ball just inside the area.

The second followed shortly after with left wing-back Dan Crocker finding the net to make it 2-0 before the break.

Beaminster's third came after Tristan Gale hit the bar and Jones who smashed home the rebound.

A fourth was later found when substitute Henry Hansford-Harvey went on a mazy run, stepping out of the back three and linking up with an attacker on the edge of the area. Getting on the end of a one-two, he dropped the shoulder before opening his body and stroking home for 4-0.

Next upo the firsts play Swanage reserves again but this time at home and in the cup on Saturday (3pm). The reserves are away to Bridport's development side.
