Our U18s went down rather meekly today, losing 2-0 to a more committed Cardiff side in the sun at Landore. We were missing a number of key players, including Jack Fanning, Iestyn Jones, Yori Griffith and of course Aimar Govea (who was there today in the stand with Filip Lissah). Our U15 / U16 contingent …
A comfortable 2-0 win today for what was again a very young Swans U18 squad today, beating PD(North) opponents Barnsley. We fielded a couple of academy debutants: 15 year old goalkeeper Tom Wright was a late change to the announced team line-up, he’s been a substitute previously; centre back Kaven Bloniarczyk played the whole 2nd …
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 …

A good learning experience for a very young team today and against a very capable opposition. There was clearly an intent to rest or reduce the potential for injury prior to next Wednesday’s PDL Cup Final at Millwall. No Tom Woodward, Yori Griffith, Cam Llewellyn or Tom Searle.

On another day, the …

A pleasing return to form and goals for our U18s this afternoon in a 5-1 at Landore against Colchester United.Colchester have been on a poor run and often looked quite overwhelmed at times today. It was though a really strong all round performance by our youngsters. Our line-up was quite fluid, but essentially 4-1-4-1: Kit …
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 …
Our U18 took a chastening 5-0 loss this evening to Fulham in the rearranged FA Youth Cup tie. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge that the opposition is superior – and this evening was one of those games. Category One side Fulham even had the luxury of leaving out last week’s star performer, winger Lemar …
