| Saturday 24/7/10 Staines Town 0 Dagenham & Redbridge 1 This match originally came about following the transfer of Mark Nwokeji from Staines to Dagenham two seasons ago. Although 'Nokkers' has since transfered to AFC Wimbledon, the Daggers honoured their agreement and the game finally took place this afternoon. Both sides fielded relatively strong line ups, but it was the Daggers who dominated the first half and took the lead when Jon Nurse rounded Louis Wells to fire into an empty net. Steve Cordery rung the changes in the second half introducing Ali Chaaban and Andre Scarlett for their first outings of pre-season, the Swans immediately looked a different side as they began to get on top, however could not find an equaliser. The Swans visit Sutton United this Tuesday, however Thursday's visit to Northwood is not likely to go ahead as the home side's pitch is not quite ready. Full report to come.

| Wednesday 21/7/10 Staines Town 0 Reading X1 3 A combination of first teamers and triallists contested this relatively low key friendly for the Swans last night at a surprisingly quiet Wheatsheaf Park. Reading sent down a team of mostly reserves and youngsters and it took the away side just two minutes to find the net as Nick Jupp was beaten from close range. The game itself was actually a relatively even affair but the Royalists added a further two goals in the second half to conclude a rather one sided look to the score sheet. A quick return to Wheatsheaf Park this Thursday sees the visit of Brentford for the annual friendly fixture before we host Dagenham & Redbridge this Saturday.
