An entertaining game for a very young U21 squad on a sweltering day at Landore. No teamsheet. Stevenage turned up in a variety of different shirts, mostly unnumbered. They must have been amazed to score 2 goals, essentially due to inexplicable generosity on our part. Kris O’Leary walked in after the start, presumably fresh from the Bristol …
Just as they did last season, the Swans made the trip to Devon to face League One Plymouth Argyle in their latest pre-season friendly. The 291 Jacks that made the trip to Home Park, didn’t have long to wait to celebrate, as a stunning Joel Piroe volley gave the Swans the lead after just six …
The Swans continued their preparation for the new season with a behind closed doors game against League Two side Colchester United at Fairwood this afternoon. In a game of four 30 minute quarters, the Swans once again shuffled the starting XI around, just as they did in the win over Haverfordwest County last Friday. The …
Swansea City continued their pre-season preparations with a comfortable win over Cymru Premier side Havefordwest County at Fairwood in a closed doors friendly Kyle Naughton set the Swans on their way, before last season’s top scorer, Joel Piroe, grabbed a first half hat-trick.

Pontypridd stepped in at the last minute at Landore tonight when the arrangement with Llanelli fell through. Pontypridd are currently top of Cymru South, the same level as Llanelli and Carmarthen. No teamsheet. Russ Martin and Mark Allen were present. I’m not sure how much they would’ve learned. We had loads of possession, dominated throughout, …
An open and entertaining final friendly for the Under 23 at Landore today, resulting in a 7-2 win. AG Academy is a London-based team designed to give second chances to players who haven’t succeeded at other clubs. Unusually for a friendly, a welcome teamsheet was available today. At 9 for us was the trialist centre …
Those that were there or listening will know we were undone by 2 calamitous errors of judgement for the 2nd & 3rd goals but, in reality, we were soundly dealt with by a streetwise Bath side. We had a purple patch in the 10 minutes before half-time, but there were long periods in the 2nd half …
I attended this game at Cwmavon last night. I’d say there were about 200-300 spectators in attendance in a picturesque countryside backdrop and in blistering heat. Trefelin have a well-organised set-up and a strong community ethos – the game was arranged to inaugurate the naming of the main stand. Given it was my first game watching any …
