Another high scoring affair for our U18 in the rain at Landore today, sharing the spoils 4-4 with Bristol City in the Professional Development League Cup. We operated 4-4-2: Sam Seager; Billy Clarke, Osian Williams, Brogan Popham, Callum Deacon (captain) (Kiel Higginson 87m); Aidan Higgins, Jacob Cook, Ramon Rees-Siso (s – Kai Rhodes 45m), Josh …
A tough match this afternoon against a combative and attack minded Barnsley. We survived a thorough first half examination and offered up a much more positive performance after the interval. The 0-0 result seemed a fair reflection for both sides. We started with quite an unusual formation – pretty much 3-6-1, which didn’t really help …
An exciting end to a keen encounter with Peterborough at Landore today, our U18 snatching a 3-3 draw at the death. Peterborough gave our youngsters a tough game, very quick to pin down our midfield and press high up the pitch. We operated 4-3-3: Sam Seager; Billy Clarke, Osian Williams (s – Kaven Bloniarczyk 89m), …
A burst of 2nd half scoring gave our U21 a convincing and deserved 4-0 win over a battling Crewe Alexandra side at a sun drenched Landore this afternoon. All credit to Glory Nzingo for a varied hat-trick – he could have realistically got even more – and Tom Woodward was rewarded with a 4th for …
Another rather young Swans side lost 3-2 to an experienced Cymru Premier Barry outfit, with Iestyn Jones and Sammy Henia-Kamau getting our goals. We fielded another very young side today at Jenner Park. Although we got through the first half rather fortunately ahead with a Iestyn Jones goal, the pressure from a physically and technically …
The U21 got a well earned 2-0 win over Briton Ferry Llansawel’s senior side this evening. The relentless drizzle kept the crowd to a disappointing minimum. It was something of a slog for both sides, although we did enough to deserve the win. We included 4 of the trialists from the Trefelin game and also …
A convincing 6-0 win for our very young U18 side this evening against their Briton Ferry Llansawel U19 counterparts in the hazy sun at Old Road. The hard work was accomplished in the first half, Jarred Harvey using the 2nd half to give opportunities to U16 players and without losing control of the match. Line-up …
No MG Cup run for us this season, as we went out at the first hurdle at sunny Baglan, losing after a 1-1 draw went straight to penalties without extra time. Baglan scored all 5 of theirs, we missed our first and that was that, really. Anthony Wright played the hand he was dealt – …
A decent workout for our U21 this evening against a workmanlike and determined Trefelin opposition who played in a competitive spirit throughout. There were some familiar faces in the Ynys Park squad – including Lee Trundle, Shaun MacDonald, Daniel Alfei and Steve Berry. Our team and squad comprised a mix of U21, U18 and trialists, …
A comfortable 7-1 opening win for our U18 at the University of South Wales sports complex in Treforest, which is where Pontypridd United play. The match was played on a grass pitch next door to the 3G turf that the senior Pontypridd side uses for its Cymru League fixtures. The weather took a turn for …
