The first team finished off the season in style with a superb victory over Barton Town Reserves.
The visitors took the lead early on when a one-on-one chance was well saved by Lewis Burchnall but the rebound fell kindly for the striker to drive through bodies on the line.
Town fought back almost immediately as Lee Wilson scored high into the goal, and then went in front when Liam Cotton diverted Reece Pemberton’s free kick into the net.
It looked like a nearly perfect first half for Town until The Swans found the net again with an impressive first-time strike from distance to make it 2-2.
Town stepped up a gear in the second half and went ahead once more with an exceptional breakaway goal, set up by Reece and finished with the outside of the foot by wing back Harley Stanton.
From then on there only looked like one winner and MOTM Reece Pemberton finally got the goal his performance deserved after fantastic work from Aiden Willerton.
The result means the first team leapfrog Louth Town Reserves to finish 10th in the Lincs League.
