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 …
Watching the 1st half before wandering over to the stadium. On reflection, perhaps I should have stayed at the Academy! We were 2 up at half-time, the first coming on 16 minutes when Morgan Bates got a 2nd snatch at a chance after the keeper’s save from a Josh Pescatore shot landed opportunely for him …
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 …

Our U18s must be highly frustrated that QPR pinched the points today with a 1-0 win. We created and passed up a multitude of clear chances. The inevitable happened on 75 minutes when QPR left winger Kennedy carved some room for himself on the edge of the box, we switched off and he struck a …

Playing their first home league fixture since November, the Swans Under 18s produced a stunning second-half comeback to secure a 5-2 victory over …
A thrilling 2nd half comeback from our youngsters to clinch a 5-2 win over Ipswich in what was our first home league U18s fixture since 26th November. Ipswich were fairly dour opponents who possessed a number of really big, imposing players and a significant potent threat at set pieces. Left sided attacker Eze alone must …
Hugely disappointing result here at the soulless Cardiff International Sports Campus (in other words, Leckwith Stadium – a terrible venue to watch football, spectators being a considerable distance from the pitch). Chris Llewellyn assumed temporary management duties and selected an adventurous 3-1-4-2 formation, with Harlan Perry holding in front of Ben Phillips, Brogan Popham and …
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, …
