City's U18s continue their PDL campaign this weekend in a clash against Swansea City on Saturday, February 7th.
The fixture will kick-off at 11am at Cardiff International Sports Campus.
PRE-MATCH | TOM HUTTON
“It's going to be a really challenging game.” Tom began. “We've had two tough games against Swansea already.
“The landscape of our team is changing. We're starting to push some of the scholars up into the U21s and expose them to a higher level of football.
"It will be a new experience for some of the boys in this game at U18 level. We know how important those games are to perform well, but also to be competitive.
"We'll work as we normally do, and the focus will be on us and trying to deliver a positive performance.
“All games are crucial for their development and these type of matches are the biggest test of where the boys are. That's where we can really judge them and see how much they improve in. And this time of year, we’re very strategic in the decisions we make around the team and the individuals.
"Making sure that we can make headway for some of the more ready U16s to step into the U18s programme is always an important part of what we do this time of year."
RECENT RESULT
