Back at the stadium in front of a young and boisterous crowd, our U21 secured a 2-0 victory over Burnley. It’s no exaggeration to say we should have been 5 or more goals ahead at half-time – we passed up numerous opportunities as we totally controlled the contest. Burnley undoubtedly had a stern talking to …
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 …
Our U17s finally triumphed 4-2 after extra time this evening against Cheltenham to clinch a place in the PDL Cup Final. Cheltenham can feel a little hard done by, although – on sheer chances alone – Swans hat-trick sub Callum Jones created probably more on his own than the opposition did. We narrowly avoided having …
A fast paced match in the Landore drizzle that finished goalless but was highly entertaining throughout. We initially lined up 3-5-2 and varied to 4-4-2 and 3-4-3 during the game: Kit Margetson; Arthur Parker, Richard Faakye (s – Aimar Govea 53m), Iestyn Jones, Seb Dabrowski; Josh Pescatore (s – Morgan Bates 80m), Jacob Cook, Dan …
We ultimately lost 3-2, our young side had its chances to get something out of the game, but it was too much of an uphill battle in the 2nd half. More detail to follow. Another invaluable outing for a number of our U16s, a bit of a chastening experience in a 2-3 defeat in a …
Our U18s must be highly frustrated that QPR pinched the points today with a 1-0 win. We created and passed up a multitude of clear chances. The inevitable happened on 75 minutes when QPR left winger Kennedy carved some room for himself on the edge of the box, we switched off and he struck a …
Well, tonight’s encounter was played on the nearside academy pitch – meaning there was no cover, no seats, a generally poor view of the pitch, no teamsheet and the inevitable shower as the night progressed… but what a great game to watch. Our U17s finally triumphed 4-2 after extra time against a Crewe side that …
This was one of those academy games that seem to defy comprehension. Having spurned numerous opportunities in a dazzling first half display, the Swans team went into the interval with a shock goal conceded bang on half-time. With just a minor personnel change for the 2nd half, the game somehow turned completely, QPR getting a …
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 …
