Something to do on what looks like being a wet Bank Holiday tomorrow

Good game and a decent crowd yesterday. City won 3-1 in a match which became a bit like a rugby international by the end with endless substitutions and withdrawn players returning to the game, so there were obviously no points at stake, but it was still a competitive affair with City generally the better team technically against bigger and more powerful opponents - some of the lads who had been away on Wales duty were able to play some of the game.

The under-23s finished the season with a 3-2 loss at Watford (who we beat 7-1 a couple of months ago), goals for Ibrahim Meite and Mark Harris. A report here from the Watford site. No full City team given but Declan John played, as did the trialist Matthew Makinson again.

A few reports in Belgium linking Marco Weymans with a move to top division club Lokeren, I'll keep an eye on that.

Three Cardiff players in the first u21 squad from "intermediate" manager Robert Page. No surprises here with the selection.

Well done to Mark Harries, Rhys Abbruzzese and Cameron Coxe for making the squad.

That's a new look squad, I don't think our three have been called up before but I could be wrong.

No they haven't going off memory. The reason I'm not surprised is because I think this is effectively an u20 squad to prep us for the year or so after this get together. The full backs options for the past couple of years have been Gethin Jones, Connor Roberts and Liam Shepherd on the right and Jordan Evans (Who's been let go by Fulham and Wrexham now) and Declan. Think they're all 21 now so the u19s got bumped up. Rhys and Cameron were regulars through the age groups and Harries had to be selected I feel given the way his season went.
