seems a young side
city are 1-0 up
Full time at USW Park. A young, yet dominant Cardiff side secure victory in what was an emphatic evening for the hosts. Goals from Kieran Evans and Isaak Davies coming either side of the interval ensure that the Bluebirds run out 2-0 victors on the night. A very promising performance by the young prospects tonight.

The Bluebirds were rewarded for their attacking efforts two minutes later, with Margetson finding the back of the net. The defender fired home from close range, putting City back on level terms with 26 minutes played.
However, with 74 minutes played, City found their second leveller of the afternoon through Colwill. A low cross from the right side was pulled back towards the edge of the box, finding the midfielder in space. Colwill finished neatly into the bottom left corner, equalising for the Bluebirds.
City's development sides game with QPR today is being shown on the club website, kick off 1 o clock - Phillips, Bagan, Benkovic, Whyte, Patten, Murphy and Evans all in the starting line up.
Well this is good, picture keeps on freezing, the commentator sounds like he's over in the main stadium and now I'm getting a "content unavailable" message!
Flaming video buffering all the time. Must be lots of people watching.
0-0 at half time. From what I can see from the somewhat erratic coverage, we're better than them at the speculative punt forward, they're better than us at every other facet of the game.
Reward for a much better second half showing by City - Rubin Colwell puts them 1-0 up.
Only City's second win of the season at under 23 level as they recovered from a truly dismal first half showing to become increasingly dominant during the second period. It was good to see young players like Margetson at the back, Patten and Pritchard in central midfield and Evans out wide improve as the match wore on after difficult starts. We were definitely aided by the introduction of the lively Isaak Davies, who hit the post shortly before the goal, up front and it was another sub, Colwill who got the winner from point blank range after another effort against the woodwork with about five minutes to go. Best City players for me over the ninety minutes were Phillips in goal and Bagan.
