Swansea City 2 Watford 2 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A thrilling end to a competitive game at Landore, our last scheduled U-21 home fixture.  Our boys capitulated at the last to a determined and skilful Watford side just when it appeared we would seize victory. Line-up (4-3-3): Joe Collins; Tom Searle (s – Aimar Govea 63m), Iestyn Jones, Blair McKenzie, Caio Ifans; Milo Robinson …

Swansea City 5 Colchester United 0 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A welcome return to winning ways for our U21s today at Landore.  We fielded just 4 players from  Monday’s youthful starting XI against Barnsley.  Morgan Bates missed out due to a groin injury picked up in that game, so Tom Woodward was pushed forward into the centre forward role, flanked by Josh Pescatore and Caleb …

Swansea City 1 Coventry City 2 – Under 18 Professional Development League

On a day when Coventry competed on 3 different pitches in Swansea, our young U18s side fell short at the death in this encounter at Landore.  The club administration seems quite unable to perform more than one task at any one time, so there was no teamsheet today.  The visitors haven’t reported the game on …

Swansea City 3 QPR 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League

QPR must feel a little hard done by with this result, having dominated much of the second half but without delivering the goods to reflect that control.  Our side will have played better and lost, but all credit to the players – and to hat-trick man Morgan Bates in particular – for coming away with …

Swansea City 0 Queens Park Rangers 3 – Under 18 Professional Development League

It was sunny for a change in Landore and, given QPR are one off the bottom of the PDL2 South division and we’d beaten them 7-2 away earlier in the campaign, the portents seemed encouraging.  However, we were missing players such as Josiah Kallicharan, away on international duty, and fielded a very young squad.  Bobby …

Cardiff City 0 Swansea City 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A fine and thoroughly deserved win for our U21s in the driving rain at Leckwith this evening. After the very youthful side put out earlier in the week shipped 6 goals at Charlton, this evening’s starting line-up featured just 2 U-18 players, Carter Heywood and Harlan Perry, with a number of scholars making up the …

Swansea City 4 AFC Bournemouth 2 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A fine win for the U21s in the bitter cold this evening against a team that traditionally gives our U21s tough contests. For much of the game, play was fairly even, but the quality of Swans’ finishing made all the difference.  Coach Anthony Wright maintained a  4-3-3 set-up, with newcomer Joe Collins making his debut …
