Our U21s snatched a 4-4 draw at Briton Ferry Llansawel in a friendly at the Old Road today. No teamsheet, a fairly low turnout and we were blessed with a comedy announcer, so not much in the way of information supporting today’s midday friendly. It was an unusual but entertaining match. U-21s Coach Anthony Wright …
Our U21s edged a 2-1 victory this evening in a friendly at Trefelin’s Ynys Park. It was a competitive game in the usual welcoming atmosphere and in great scenic surroundings at Port Talbot. Newly promoted to the Cymru Premier, Trefelin have adapted some of the immediate infrastructure – there’s now a proper turnstile – and …
A thoroughly deserved win this evening at the main stadium for a gritty display against a Cat 1 Newcastle side that had classy performers but little cutting edge. Coach Anthony Wright was able to select a strong line-up and a decent bench. Newcastle were led by ex-Middlesbrough player Robbie Stockdale, who’s had a lengthy and …
A thrilling end to a competitive game at Landore, our last scheduled U-21 home fixture. Our boys capitulated at the last to a determined and skilful Watford side just when it appeared we would seize victory. Line-up (4-3-3): Joe Collins; Tom Searle (s – Aimar Govea 63m), Iestyn Jones, Blair McKenzie, Caio Ifans; Milo Robinson …
The U21s lost their 5 year unbeaten record with a whimper at the main stadium today. A decent crowd and a lot of kids here on a sunny day, but the side could raise itself above a flat performance devoid of any real energy. A couple of key performers were missing but that doesn’t really …
A welcome return to winning ways for our U21s today at Landore. We fielded just 4 players from Monday’s youthful starting XI against Barnsley. Morgan Bates missed out due to a groin injury picked up in that game, so Tom Woodward was pushed forward into the centre forward role, flanked by Josh Pescatore and Caleb …
Decent weather for a change at Landore as our U-21 side faced Barnsley. We rather threw the game away – 2-1 up at an early point and looking in complete control, we conceded a weak penalty on half-time and had a disappointing 2nd half before succumbing to defeat at the last. It was another very …
A decent crowd at the stadium this evening for a match with our South Wales rivals. The weather had been quite pleasant during the day but, true to form, it not only bucketed down for a period in the 2nd half, there was also a bout of hailstones just after half-time! Coach Anthony Wright has …
QPR must feel a little hard done by with this result, having dominated much of the second half but without delivering the goods to reflect that control. Our side will have played better and lost, but all credit to the players – and to hat-trick man Morgan Bates in particular – for coming away with …
A fine win for the U21s in the bitter cold this evening against a team that traditionally gives our U21s tough contests. For much of the game, play was fairly even, but the quality of Swans’ finishing made all the difference. Coach Anthony Wright maintained a 4-3-3 set-up, with newcomer Joe Collins making his debut …
