Swansea City v Luton Town Under 17s PDL Cup

Swansea City 0 Luton Town 3 – Under 17 Professional Development League Cup Final

Our U17s rather ran out of steam in today’s PDL Cup Final at the stadium. After a fairly even first half in which we created and hadn’t taken our chances, Luton got in front before the interval with a sharp move that completely cut through our defence.  They went onto deservedly take the trophy with …

Swansea City 4 Cheltenham Town 2 – U17 PDL Cup Semi-Final

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 …

Swansea City 4 Crewe Alexandra 2 – U17 PDL Cup

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 …

Swansea City 1 West Bromwich Albion 1 – Under 21 Professional Development League Cup

A dramatic finish at a wild and windy Landore this evening, with our U21 snatching a 96th minute equaliser to keep our Premier Division League Cup qualification hopes alive. Sammy Henia-Kamau got on the end of a lovely dinked cross from Ben Lloyd to score from close range to clinch the 1-1 draw. It was …

Swansea City 2 Fleetwood Town 3 – Under 21 Professional Development League Cup

A poor 2-3 result against Fleetwood in the Premier League Cup this evening and, sadly, we didn’t perform to the heights of Monday. The portents looked good. We selected a decent looking starting XI and a very strong set of substitutes. The opening minutes were encouraging. Morgan Bates had a point blank shot instinctively saved …

Swansea City 1 Southampton 2 – Under 21 Professional Development League Cup

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 …

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 …

Millwall 3 Swansea City 1 (AET) – Under 18 Professional Development League Cup Final

We were dead on our feet at full-time and perhaps could only rue not taking a more commanding first half lead which our opening play certainly deserved. The returning Tom Woodward and Yori Griffith made such an impact to the side. However it was evident that neither they nor skipper Jack Fanning were fully match …
