With a very rare appearance of the sunshine the lovely Swans from Dawlish landed in Taunton for some great round robin sessions on the 3G. Not a great deal of goals but some really good triangle play and passing. A combined warm up session brought a good few laughs to kick the session off 😄. Looking forward to the return matches.
