Our U18 team kicked off its opening publicised friendly today in the sweltering heat at Stebonheath. Our youngsters faced a Llanelli side full of new faces after a relegation to Cymru South and the loss of most of last season’s squad. Terry Boyle remains in charge of the Reds. We featured some familiar players from …
Our U18 team’s final home match of this season proved to be a disappointing affair. There was no teamsheet (again) and the tannoy hasn’t worked since November, but that’s OK, as there was no one present to do any announcements, anyway. The academy experience lately seems to be taking the form of an article of …
An excellent all-round performance today for our U18. We turned around an unexpected 0-1 deficit to quickly recover and run away 4-1 winners over Coventry City. Once more, we operated 4-4-2: Sam Seager; Osian Williams (s – Carter Heywood 72m), Kiel Higginson, Brogan Popham, Billy Clarke; Aidan Higgins, Jacob Cook, Yori Griffith (s – Milo …
Another high scoring affair for our U18 in the rain at Landore today, sharing the spoils 4-4 with Bristol City in the Professional Development League Cup. We operated 4-4-2: Sam Seager; Billy Clarke, Osian Williams, Brogan Popham, Callum Deacon (captain) (Kiel Higginson 87m); Aidan Higgins, Jacob Cook, Ramon Rees-Siso (s – Kai Rhodes 45m), Josh …
A difficult outing today at Landore in swirling wind and rain against a Bristol City team that was physically and technically stronger. Our U18 held the score to 0-1 for some time, had a good chance to equalise early in the 2nd half, ultimately the visitors wore our youngsters down and finished the match on …
A well earned 3-1 victory for our U18 in the rain at Landore ahead of this afternoon’s first team game. We fielded 2 of our U16 squad, Brogan Popham making his home debut at this level in the absence of Jack Fanning, who’s ill. Although he didn’t feature in the squad advertised on Twitter, Milo …
A sound team performance and decent 4-1 result for our U18 against QPR at Landore this morning. Rain was bucketing down beforehand, but the pitch was in good condition and the game was mostly played in bright sunshine. We lined up a familiar 3-4-2-1: Ewan Griffiths (captain); Arthur Parker, Ben Phillips, Iestyn Jones; Cameron Llewellyn …
A thoroughly entertaining 9 goal contest at Landore today – unfortunately 6 goals to the visitors! At half-time we were 3-2 up, but our defence went missing after the interval and Charlton seemed to score at will. Not that our defenders were particularly poor – Jack Fanning, Arthur Parker and U16 graduate Ben Phillips all …
Not the most stylish of performances, although our young side can take credit for a hardworking 1-0 win earlier today. We started a familiar U18 3-4-2-1: Kit Margetson; Arthur Parker (captain), Ben Phillips, Teo Minchev; Cameron Llewellyn, Harlan Perry, Jacob Cook, Aimar Govea; Thomas Woodward, Yori Griffith; Rohan Davies. We ended the game as a …
A morale boosting 3-1 win today for our U18 over Hull City’s academy side. This will have done the younger players in the squad a world of good, plus serving as a positive return to action for keeper Evan Watts and defender Filip Lissah, who’ve missed large parts of this season. Hull must have taken an academy …
