Swansea City 4 AFC Bournemouth 3 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Even with the benefit of a few hours distance, a first team game in between and a drying off, this still seems another in a long line of highly entertaining home games at this level. Bournemouth brought a few supporters / parents with them. The match administration was pretty spartan today – no teamsheet, no …

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

Our U21s secured a stirring and hard earned victory over Hull City here played out in thoroughly miserable weather here at Landore.

Our U17s finally triumphed 4-2 after extra time this evening against Cheltenham to clinch a place in the PDL Cup Final.

Swansea City 5 Ipswich Town 2 – Under 18 Professional Development League

A thrilling 2nd half comeback from our youngsters to clinch a 5-2 win over Ipswich in what was our first home league U18s fixture since 26th November. Ipswich were fairly dour opponents who possessed a number of really big, imposing players and a significant potent threat at set pieces. Left sided attacker Eze alone must …

Swansea City 4 Colchester United 1 – U21 Professional Development League

A welcome return to winning ways for our U21s this afternoon at Landore. We fielded a youthful side and squad, although both Dan Watts and Jack Fanning made long-awaited returns to action after some time out. No Cadogan, Nzingo or Faakye and Filip Lissah is clearly still not ready. Ben Lloyd and Ben Hughes were …
