With the Brighton fixture slipped a week, the U18 had a friendly organised with West Brom this morning. Our U16s played their West Brom counterparts on the adjacent pitch. No teamsheet. Entertaining, even game and the U18 finally had strokes of good fortune to come out 4-2 winners. Will Rickard, who a decent outing alongside …
Had to leave with the score 1-0 after 80 minutes to get over to The Liberty, but it sounds as though Reading got a late unlikely equaliser. Swansea had gone ahead after 17 minutes. A free header for Cameron Evans at a corner when a Reading defender headed straight over to him. Mason-Thomas missed a …
Another loss, but it didn’t feel quite the same as the disheartening defeats this side has otherwise suffered this season. The side had a real purple patch after half-time when it looked as though they could get an equaliser and this after going into the interval 2 nil down. Poor defending all the way down …

In truth, the visitors were far more incisive, their midfield captain, rangy early sub 14 & niggly centre forward cutting through our …
Lost 2-1 at Romford today after Josh Thomas put us one up in the 18th minute. West Ham equalised when a striker followed up Webb’s excellent penalty save. Webb then got beaten at the near post by an inswinging free kick. Swans had good possession 2nd half in very blustery conditions, but couldn’t find an …
