Swansea City 1 Wigan Athletic 3 – Under 18 Professional Development League

A very young U18s squad played out a 3-1 defeat to a comparatively more experienced Wigan Athletic team at Landore.  Still missing a number of otherwise eligible players through international duties, coach Joe Roberts picked a side that included 4 Under 16 players plus a further 3 among the substitutes.  Close season signing centre half …

Swansea City 6 Huddersfield Town 0 – Under 21 Professional Development League

Our U21s claimed a  convincing 6-0 win in  the sun over Huddersfield Town today at the stadium.  The game was effectively over by half-time, with the Swans 5 up, totally overwhelming a weak opposition.  Huddersfield improved slightly in the second half (in truth, they couldn’t have got any worse) and the prospect of double figures …

Swansea City 5 Hull City 1 – Under 18 Professional Development League

I was able to attend only the first half of this morning’s U18s fixture with Hull until leaving for the first team appointment against Watford, so it was pleasing to learn that from being one up at the interval we’d earned a convincing 5-1 win by full-time. In the first half, we played attractively and …

Swansea City 4 Fleetwood Town 0 – Under 18 Professional Development League

4-0 sounds like a thoroughly convincing victory, but our U18s didn’t have things all their own way this morning at Landore.  Opponents Fleetwood gave as good as they got during a competitive 1st half and only succumbed only through a flurry of 2nd half goals and a dismissal, which took the wind out of their sails. There …

Swansea City 3 Crewe Alexandra 2 – Under 21 Professional Development League

A win’s a win and we keep our excellent U21s record at the stadium going.  Our U21s clinched a 3-2 victory over Crewe on a warm evening. We didn’t look entirely convincing over the entire match, though.   On the face of it, our initial match line-up looked imbalanced: 3 widemen – 4 if you …

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 …

Swansea City 4 AFC Bournemouth 3 – Under 18 Professional Development League

Even with the benefit of a few hours distance, a first team game in between and a drying off, this still seems another in a long line of highly entertaining home games at this level. Bournemouth brought a few supporters / parents with them. The match administration was pretty spartan today – no teamsheet, no …

Swansea City 1 Hull City 0 – Under 21 Professional Development League

Our U21s secured a stirring and hard earned victory over Hull City here played out in thoroughly miserable weather here at Landore. Hull are in 2nd place in PDL North and fought tooth and nail throughout to get something out of the match. Jack Fanning’s towering header from a Dan Watts free-kick finally put the …
