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 …
This was a hard-earned victory at Landore against a Charlton Athletic side that was top of the Division 2 South table and unbeaten since August. It was also the U21s first home game since September. We fielded a strong-looking side, set up as 4-2-3-1: Evan Anderson; Sam Parker (s – Ramon Rees-Siso 59m), Arthur …
A very competitive and ultimately very satisfying 3-1 victory today in the Landore sun against a skilful and determined Charlton side. Coach Anthony Wright adapted to the unavailability of age grade international academy players with a youngish but still strong looking 4-4-2 line-up: Kit Margetson; Zac Jeanes, Arthur Parker (captain), Jack Fanning, Callum Deacon; Josh …
Watching the 1st half before wandering over to the stadium. On reflection, perhaps I should have stayed at the Academy! We were 2 up at half-time, the first coming on 16 minutes when Morgan Bates got a 2nd snatch at a chance after the keeper’s save from a Josh Pescatore shot landed opportunely for him …
A personal perspective. The match was no contest, as we fielded a very strong line-up with overage first team squad players Kyle Naughton, Liam Walsh, Oli Cooper and Cameron Congreve all starting. Line-up was a fairly adaptable 4-3-3: Evan Watts; Sam Parker, Filip Lissah, Kyle Naughton (s- Maliq Cadogan 62m), Nathan Tjoe-A-On (s- Richard Faakye …

Swansea City Under-18s suffered a heavy defeat against the reigning Professional Development League South champions Charlton Athletic in an action-packed match at Landore. In …
A thoroughly entertaining 9 goal contest at Landore today – unfortunately 6 goals to the visitors! At half-time we were 3-2 up, but our defence went missing after the interval and Charlton seemed to score at will. Not that our defenders were particularly poor – Jack Fanning, Arthur Parker and U16 graduate Ben Phillips all …
Today’s game was screened live on the Charlton website. We went down 1-0 – quite disappointing given that Charlton missed a glut of chances and all it would’ve taken was a single slice of ambition or luck for us to have snatched what would admittedly have been a totally undeserved point. I’m afraid we betrayed …
Here is an image slideshow from the Under 18s Professional Development League game between the Swans and Charlton Athletic at Landore on Saturday, 1 October 2022. The game was delayed 30 minutes due to the Charlton team getting stuck in traffic on the M4, but it didn’t seem to affect the reigning Professional Development League …
Almost 400 of the Jack Army travelled to south-east London to watch the Swans round off their pre-season preparation with a 2-1 win over League One Charlton Athletic at the Valley. The game couldn’t have got off to a worse start for the Swans, after a calamitous own goal from Harry Darling, who under pressure …
