So much for Lennon Peake being the answer to our midfield problems then
AbsolutelyQuote:

Only time will tell whether these Welsh club loans are the right way to go I suppose, but it looks promising for Davies.Quote:

Caleb Hughes did as well didn't he? Haverfordwest I think.Quote:

Yes, you're rightQuote:

Our u21s are entering the Nathaniel MG Cup next season. https://www.cymrufootball.wales/news...dcards-202324/
Looks interesting, but the U21s have a friendly at Aston Villa on the 21st, so perhaps there'll be a mix of u18s too.Quote:

Every team with a reasonable Academy is being cherry picked. One of the biggest sadnesses of modern football is how it is so easy for big to f@ck small!
I agreeQuote:

New contracts for Jake Dennis, Isaac Jefferies, Kyle Kenniford, Dylan Lawlor and Morgan Wigley and a new signing - defender Freddie Cook from Leicester City.

Morgan Lewis has joined Mousehole AFC https://www.mouseholeafc.co.uk/morga...-cardiff-city/
Seems quite a leftfield move but Mousehole are in the 8th tier (one beneath Merthyr). Good luck to the lad, there are worse parts of the world to live and work, although it might be a bit sedate for a young man. In the Joe Keeping thread, Sunnysideup mentioned an exit trial for those released so maybe Lewis was picked up through that (I've never heard of those exit trials before but they make sense).Quote:

Finished 3-1. James Crole, Kieron Evans and a trialist with the goals.

If the City Academy Twitter site is to be believed, Isaak Davies played in, and scored in, the first game and then played the first eight minutes of the second one before being substituted - hope he's not injured.Quote:

I was so confused watching their twitter how Davies scored them it was someone else, then it was 2-1 then 2-0, realised after it was 2 games lolQuote:

It was a pretty physical encounter and they gave as good as they got.

I have to say this years crop of first year scholars look particularly decent.
The majority of the boys played one half giving everyone a game plus it’s a nice pipe opener for the pre season.
Stockport were a tall side considering their age group but Cardiff dominated possession and slick interplay had us four one up inside half an hour.
Alyas Debono who played centre half oozed class and if I didn’t already know his age I would have wanted to see his birth certificate because he was a huge presence- he’s also a local boy from the Splott area
Dan Ola our Number 9 was a constant threat and also got himself on the scoresheet
Troy Perrett was solid in the middle of the park and if you recognise the surname his father Darren played for the Jacks
He actually still holds the record for the fastest ever hat trick scored by a Swansea player
We conceded a sloppy goal trying to play out from the back but two fantastic goals from the diminutive in stature Jac Thomas a Treherbert boy (played No3) re established our lead
A thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable game ended 6 - 3 but we should have added at least another five
Tougher opposition awaits us on Saturday with a trip up to Merseyside
Sounds very promisingQuote:

Still it’s all good experience
As for Lewys Benjamin his future with Cardiff will depend on the supposed move to Wolves
I know they have shown interest and unfortunately it looks likely he’ll be off soon 🤔
I'm pretty sure Debono was on the pitch when we scored three in the last eight minutes or so to beat Poland 3-0 after defeats by the same score against Hungary and the Republic of Ireland - Poland had scored ten in beating those two teams, so, although they'd already qualified when we played them, beating them pretty convincingly was a very good result for us.Quote:
