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 …

Swansea City 3 Newport County 2 – Under 17 Professional Development League Cup

This is a new age grade competition for us and the fixture was not terribly well publicised. We got through tonight’s tie with Newport 3-2 under the lights at Landore, but it was something of a scruffy battle after a confident start. The team was a mixture of qualifying U18 and U16 players, all of …

Swansea City 0 Cardiff City 2 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Our U18s went down rather meekly today, losing 2-0 to a more committed Cardiff side in the sun at Landore. We were missing a number of key players, including Jack Fanning, Iestyn Jones, Yori Griffith and of course Aimar Govea (who was there today in the stand with Filip Lissah).

Swansea City 2 Barnsley 0 – Under 18 Professional Development League

A comfortable 2-0 win today for what was again a very young Swans U18 squad today, beating PD(North) opponents Barnsley. We fielded a couple of academy debutants: 15 year old goalkeeper Tom Wright was a late change to the announced team line-up, he’s been a substitute previously; centre back Kaven Bloniarczyk played the whole 2nd …
