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 …
An entertaining 4-2 PDL Cup win at Landore today against our rivals Cardiff City. There may be times this season when our U18 won’t be able to score enough to offset the number of goals they insist on chucking into their own net, but today was satisfying. Team formation was 3-4-2-1: Kit Margetson; Arthur Parker, …
A 3-1 defeat today for our U18 sounds a convincing loss. Sheffield Wednesday deserved their victory overall, but our team shouldn’t be disheartened. This is a very young U18 side this season. We’ve lost a number of last season’s key players, rightly promoted upwards, we were missing a couple more through injury (notably Yori Griffith) …

A somewhat fortunate 2-1 win for our U18 side today against a Peterborough side that dominated long spells of the game. A year or two makes such a difference at this level – Peterborough looked a little more mature as a group and we fielded a very young side, who will have learned a lot …
An entertaining game in which our very youthful U18 side took on their Briton Ferry Llansawel equivalents at Llandarcy Park, winning 3-0. Free entry, no teamsheet. Lots of substitutions and fair number of new faces, but I believe the following line-up and changes are right – with some credit to Jack Chapman and the injured …
Here is an image slideshow from the Under 18 Professional Development League game between Swansea City and Wigan Athletic at the Swansea City Academy in Landore on Saturday, 29 April 2023. The Swans Under-18s ended their season with an emphatic 7-3 win over the Latics at a warm and sunny Landore. Striker Iwan Morgan continued …
Another highly entertaining game at Landore. It was Darren Davies’s last in charge and a fitting farewell. After going 3-1 down just before half-time to a bright Wigan side, our U18 got an immediate riposte and then scored a further 5 goals to finish 7-3 winners. Our line-up in a familiar 3-4-1-2 formation: Kit Margetson; Arthur …
Here is an image slideshow from the Under 18 Professional Development League game between Swansea City and Ipswich Town at the Swansea City Academy in Landore on Tuesday, 25 April 2023.
