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 …
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 …
A remarkable win today against visitors Charlton, who always provide a strong opposition and went into today’s game 4 points clear at the top of the U18s PDL South league. We were 4th in the table this morning but fielding a very young side today. Bobo Evans was the only starter to be selected from …
A disappointing outcome to an entertaining if frustrating evening at the stadium. As expected, coach Jon Beale made a number of changes to the squad that played at the weekend against Cardiff City. There were 6 changes in total and Billy Clarke reverted to right back from right wing. We were missing promising U16 midfielder …
A visit to Leckwith in atrocious weather is never a pleasant prospect. Actually, given that Leckwith resembles a grim piece of austere Soviet Bloc architecture and has no open refreshment facilities, you could quite easily remove 3 words from that opening sentence without changing the sentiment. I came here last January to watch our U18s …
Our U18s marched on into the PDL Cup Semi-Finals with a comfortable win over a desperately poor Doncaster Rovers side here at Landore. Wingers Kai Rhodes and Callum Jones had free rein today, both creating and scoring to put early distance between the two teams. Rovers had no way of dealing with either player. We …
We seem to play Millwall at academy level every other week. Millwall were in our group in the PDL Cup and we greeted their U18s on Saturday. A few players who appeared on Saturday featured again today for both sides. We had a young side out today and set up as a fluid 4-3-3: Tom …
A confusing end to an otherwise strong performance by a very young U18s squad today at Landore, in conditions that were bitterly cold, blustery and rainy for much of the afternoon. After the FA Youth Cup heroics against Leeds earlier in the week, it was a much-changed selection, which operated as 3-5-2: Jakub Nowak; Kaven …
With some apologies for the late report – the only excuse is that I’ve done a fair bit of travelling over the past couple of days – here’s a brief narrative of what turned out to be a thoroughly memorable win over Category One side Leeds United at York. The match was played in York …
Today’s match kick-off was held up for 30 minutes whilst the mandatory ambulance was organised. The crowd was left to ponder as to the reason for the delay, as not only does the ground tannoy still fail to function, but the match announcer is also unwell. Get well soon, Eirian. With recent games lacking even …
