A return to the stadium, but a rather flat performance against a well-organised Sheffield United side. As was the case in the opening game last Friday, we started with a 4-3-3 formation but moved quickly to 3-4-3 with right back Bill Clarke joining midfield, leaving a back 3 of Iestyn Jones, Arthur Parker and Jack …
A surprisingly comfortable opening win for our young U18s today at a sunny Landore over an increasingly frustrated Sheffield Wednesday side. Centre half Lawal had already been booked before he launched himself into a wild challenge on Bobby Lewis where he was never going to win the ball, getting himself sent off after 54 minutes. …
A welcome return to competitive academy action this evening with a convincing cup victory over Category One side Birmingham City. The academy tectonic plates are still moving about and it’s fair to say that one or 2 of tonight’s squad may be moving on shortly, but coach Anthony Wright put out a balanced and competitive …
Just over a year ago this writer pronounced: “Another testing encounter for our young U21s, this time Merthyr Town provided too strong an opposition and took a 4-1 victory. On the balance of play this felt a slightly harsh result, although Merthyr took their chances well and were deserving winners on the night.” Change the …
Every summer brings a refresh of the rulebook, and this year’s update is a substantial one. Ahead of the 2026/27 season, match officials across the Championship – and the rest of English professional football – have been given a clear mandate: keep games moving, cut out the gamesmanship, and apply a more consistent standard to …
Our U21s snatched a 4-4 draw at Briton Ferry Llansawel in a friendly at the Old Road today. No teamsheet, a fairly low turnout and we were blessed with a comedy announcer, so not much in the way of information supporting today’s midday friendly. It was an unusual but entertaining match. U-21s Coach Anthony Wright …
Our U21s edged a 2-1 victory this evening in a friendly at Trefelin’s Ynys Park. It was a competitive game in the usual welcoming atmosphere and in great scenic surroundings at Port Talbot. Newly promoted to the Cymru Premier, Trefelin have adapted some of the immediate infrastructure – there’s now a proper turnstile – and …
Our U18 team kicked off its opening publicised friendly today in the sweltering heat at Stebonheath. Our youngsters faced a Llanelli side full of new faces after a relegation to Cymru South and the loss of most of last season’s squad. Terry Boyle remains in charge of the Reds. We featured some familiar players from …
What started as a casual kickabout among Swansea City fans has transformed into something meaningful – something bigger than football. On Tuesday, 26 May, the Swansea.com Stadium plays host to a charity match that captures everything the Swansea City family is about: community, compassion, and a shared sense of purpose. Two teams of supporters, united …
Championship clubs, including Swansea City, have voted to overhaul the division’s financial regulations, approving a new Squad Cost Rules (SCR) framework that will consign the much-maligned Profitability and Sustainability – or P&S – rules to the history books from the 2026/27 season onwards. It’s a significant moment for the second tier, and frankly, one that’s …
