Our U21s drew the curtain on this season’s competition with a thoroughly convincing 5-0 victory over PDL2 North divisional champions Sheffield United at the Swansea stadium. The manner of the victory was emphatic and exacted a degree of payback – the Blades gave us 3 hidings last season, including a chastening televised 4-2 defeat at …
Our U18 completed an astonishing recovery to completely overwhelm Brimingham 5-1 at a sunny Landore. Thomas Woodward took the honours with a hat-trick. Yori Griffith pulled all the strings in an outstanding 2nd half performance off the bench. We made full use of our substitutes and notably fielded a comparatively much stronger squad than on …
A frantic end to today’s game at a cloudless Landore, but our U18 couldn’t pull back a 2-3 deficit against a tactically disciplined Fleetwood. We dominated long stretches of play, Fleetwood defended earnestly and broke ruthlessly to keep us at arm’s length. Excellent skipper’s performance from Harlan Perry, who made one and scored the other …
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 …
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 …
The Swans fell 2-0 to Southampton in an FA Youth Cup tie that turned on one decision just before the hour. To the naked eye, it looked as though Swans defender Caio Ifans had simply followed through with a defensive clearance and came together with Southampton’s Daley. After a period of treatment for both players, …
Our U21 can count themselves rather unlucky to come away with nothing from a strongly contested cup game with Premier opponents Southampton this evening. Ultimately, we lost 2-1 – due essentially to 2 passing errors that the visitors punished. Although we pressed hard, we didn’t quite possess the necessary sparkle up front to pull the …
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 …
