Leckwith Stadium in Cardiff

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 …

Cardiff City U18s v Swansea City U18s - PDL February 2026

Cardiff City 3 Swansea City 1 – Under 18 Professional Development League

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 …

Swansea City 3 Cardiff City 0 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Coming off the back of last weekend’s 4-1 age grade cup win against the same opponents at Leckwith, today’s victory over our South Wales rivals was deserved and hard earned. On a sunny day wintry at Landore, the line-up was a familiar 4-3-3.  Jon Beale, who was previously at the academy before moving off to …

Maliq Cadogan against Cardiff City

Cardiff City 2 Swansea City 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A rather underwhelming performance at Leckwith this afternoon, which is forming something of an unwelcome habit for our academy teams. No need to repeat the detail of the OS report. We started 4-3-2-1, conceded an early goal on 2 minutes through lazy defending, but controlled much of the 1st half – equalising when Maliq Cadogan …

Cardiff City v Swans U18 January 2025

Cardiff City 5 Swansea City 0 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Hugely disappointing result here at the soulless Cardiff International Sports Campus (in other words, Leckwith Stadium – a terrible venue to watch football, spectators being a considerable distance from the pitch). Chris Llewellyn assumed temporary management duties and selected an adventurous 3-1-4-2 formation, with Harlan Perry holding in front of Ben Phillips, Brogan Popham and …

Match Highlights – Cardiff City 3 Swansea City 0

Callum Robinson’s brace inspired Cardiff City to a dominant south Wales derby victory, as Swansea City delivered a dismal performance at the Cardiff City Stadium. After a goalless first half, Robinson struck twice in six minutes to put the Bluebirds in control before Dimitrios Goutas’ header sealed the win. The Swans were unrecognisable from previous …

Williams slams Swansea City players for their lack of fight in south Wales derby

Luke Williams delivered a scathing assessment of Swansea City’s performance and discipline after their 3-0 defeat to Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium. Callum Robinson’s brace and Dimitrios Goutas’ header secured a dominant win for Cardiff, while the Swans struggled to replicate the intensity of previous derby successes, producing what Williams called a “really …

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

We haven’t beaten our neighbours at this level since 2020 and the hoodoo continued tonight at a well packed Landore academy. The weather was dreadful and the atmosphere was boisterous. Swans lined up 4-3-3: Evan Watts; Arthur Parker, Iestyn Jones (s – Zac Jeanes 73m), Richard Faakye, Seb Dabrowski; Mitchell Bates (captain), Jacob Cook (s …

Swansea City 2 Cardiff City 3 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Desperately disappointing conclusion to tonight’s match with our neighbours. We gave up a 2-0 lead to succumb at the last to lose 3-2. Having completely disrupted our pattern in the 2nd half, Cardiff deserved it, overcoming a 10-man Swansea side that lost its way after half-time. We fielded what seemed a very decent starting XI …
