Swansea City Under 23s 1 Pontypridd Town 1 – Friendly

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.

We played 4-3-3 but struggled to get wingers Wilson and Hillier and centre forward Geoff Bony into the game.  Our first attempt on goal came almost …
