A convincing 6-2 win for our U18 over struggling Colchester at a wet Landore today. In truth, Colchester got off very lightly. They not only scored with their only shots during the game, they also escaped a real hiding. Morgan Bates got 3 and could’ve got more. Ramon Rees-Siso must also be wondering how he …

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 …
Our U18 gave it a good shot in the 2nd half, but couldn’t quite recover the damage done before the interval, ultimately losing 2-1 to an adventurous Wigan side. We were missing a number of players and the opening formation had a very light look about it, particularly in midfield. We operated 4-5-1, with just …

An exciting end to a keen encounter with Peterborough at Landore today, our U18 snatching a 3-3 draw at the death.

A convincing 6-0 win for our very young U18 side this evening against their Briton Ferry Llansawel U19 counterparts in the hazy sun at Old Road. The hard work was accomplished in the first half, Jarred Harvey using the 2nd half to give opportunities to U16 players and without losing control of the match. Line-up …
A comfortable 7-1 opening win for our U18 at the University of South Wales sports complex in Treforest, which is where Pontypridd United play.
