Swansea City 5 Ipswich Town 2 – Under 18 Professional Development League

A thrilling 2nd half comeback from our youngsters to clinch a 5-2 win over Ipswich in what was our first home league U18s fixture since 26th November. Ipswich were fairly dour opponents who possessed a number of really big, imposing players and a significant potent threat at set pieces. Left sided attacker Eze alone must …

Maliq Cadogan against Cardiff City

Cardiff City 2 Swansea City 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A rather underwhelming performance at Leckwith this afternoon, which is forming something of an unwelcome habit for our academy teams. No need to repeat the detail of the OS report. We started 4-3-2-1, conceded an early goal on 2 minutes through lazy defending, but controlled much of the 1st half – equalising when Maliq Cadogan …

Cardiff City v Swans U18 January 2025

Cardiff City 5 Swansea City 0 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Hugely disappointing result here at the soulless Cardiff International Sports Campus (in other words, Leckwith Stadium – a terrible venue to watch football, spectators being a considerable distance from the pitch). Chris Llewellyn assumed temporary management duties and selected an adventurous 3-1-4-2 formation, with Harlan Perry holding in front of Ben Phillips, Brogan Popham and …

Swansea City 3 Millwall 4 – Under 21 Professional Development League

Our youthful U21 will be baffled as to how this game managed to slip away from them this afternoon at Landore. Going into the last few minutes of a stoppage-littered match we were deservedly 3-2 ahead and looking to create some further distance between 2 very competitive sides. Somehow Millwall clawed back not only an …

Swansea City 4 Colchester United 1 – U21 Professional Development League

A welcome return to winning ways for our U21s this afternoon at Landore. We fielded a youthful side and squad, although both Dan Watts and Jack Fanning made long-awaited returns to action after some time out. No Cadogan, Nzingo or Faakye and Filip Lissah is clearly still not ready. Ben Lloyd and Ben Hughes were …

Swansea City 1 Watford 3 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A very youthful U21 squad left themselves a little too much to do in an entertaining if sometimes frustrating evening at Landore. Having worked our way back to level terms early in the 2nd half, we promptly missed a penalty immediately afterwards – only to have visiting Watford streak away to build an unassailable 3-1 …

Swansea City 1 West Bromwich Albion 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League Cup

A dramatic finish at a wild and windy Landore this evening, with our U21 snatching a 96th minute equaliser to keep our Premier Division League Cup qualification hopes alive. Sammy Henia-Kamau got on the end of a lovely dinked cross from Ben Lloyd to score from close range to clinch the 1-1 draw. It was …

Swansea City 6 Colchester United 2 – Under 18 Professional Development League

A convincing 6-2 win for our U18 over struggling Colchester at a wet Landore today. In truth, Colchester got off very lightly. They not only scored with their only shots during the game, they also escaped a real hiding. Morgan Bates got 3 and could’ve got more. Ramon Rees-Siso must also be wondering how he …

Swansea City 3 Sheffield Wednesday 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League

With a side packed full of attacking intent, our U21 got a deserved 3-1 win today over a capable Sheffield Wednesday.Wednesday got something of a 2nd wind in the last quarter of an hour of the game. We defended our 2-0 lead well though and a late exchange of goals completed the contest. Adapting to …
