I was able to attend only the first half of this morning’s U18s fixture with Hull until leaving for the first team appointment against Watford, so it was pleasing to learn that from being one up at the interval we’d earned a convincing 5-1 win by full-time. In the first half, we played attractively and …
4-0 sounds like a thoroughly convincing victory, but our U18s didn’t have things all their own way this morning at Landore. Opponents Fleetwood gave as good as they got during a competitive 1st half and only succumbed only through a flurry of 2nd half goals and a dismissal, which took the wind out of their sails. There …
A win’s a win and we keep our excellent U21s record at the stadium going. Our U21s clinched a 3-2 victory over Crewe on a warm evening. We didn’t look entirely convincing over the entire match, though. On the face of it, our initial match line-up looked imbalanced: 3 widemen – 4 if you …
A comfortable 5-0 win for our U21s in this Nathaniel MG Cup 2nd round tie against Afan Lido, held at Goytre United’s picturesque Glenhafod Park due to Lido’s own ground undergoing necessary improvement work. We started 3-4-3 and rotated to 4-3-3 after half-time, maintaining this shape for the rest of the game. Both styles worked well. …
No goals, but plenty to be pleased with for our young U21s squad this evening at Llanelli’s Stebonheath Park. No teamsheet and no team announcements. A reported crowd of 631 were present. Although the substitutions were arranged in 2 bursts, we essentially fielded 2 sides during the course of the night. On show for the …
Another lively friendly outing for our U21s and against what was a strong Briton Ferry Llansawel squad at Old Road. It appeared as though we’d battled our way to a well-earned victory – only for a spectacular 80th minute strike by Tom Walters to seize a draw for the home team. New 1st year scholar Jakub Nowak …
After we reacted positively to an unexpected equaliser, our U21s completed a comfortable 4-1 victory over Carmarthen in Round 1 of this season’s Nathaniel MG Cup. There was a crowd of 572 at Richmond Park for a pleasant day in the sun. Carmarthen play one division below the Cymru Premier and finished 7th in Cymru …
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. We gave a lot of the available squad game time …
A very decent workout for our U21s at Trefelin BGC today in baking hot weather. We won the match 1-0 and in truth could have scored more in the 2nd half as our fitness told over an otherwise hard working Ynys Park side, who finished 4th in Cymru South last season. No teamsheet. We started 4-3-3: …
Our U21s drew the curtain on this season’s competition with a thoroughly convincing 5-0 victory over PDL2 North divisional champions Sheffield United at the Swansea stadium. The manner of the victory was emphatic and exacted a degree of payback – the Blades gave us 3 hidings last season, including a chastening televised 4-2 defeat at …
