Rohan Davies and Tom Woodward celebrate

Swansea City 4 Queens Park Rangers 1

Braces for Rohan Davies and Tom Woodward helped Swansea City Under-18s make it three consecutive wins in all competitions as they saw off Queens Park Rangers Under-18s at Landore.

Davies opened the scoring early with a smart finish at the back post and, while the visitors did play their way into the game, the Swans were disciplined out of possession and the visitors failed to test keeper Ewan Griffiths.

Goals either side of half-time for Woodward put the game out of sight, before Davies dispatched a penalty kick with five minutes to go to make it 4-0.

Jake Coombes scored a consolation for the R's in injury time.

Swansea City U18s: Ewan Griffiths (captain), Iestyn Jones (Teo Minchev 86'), Arthur Parker, Jacob Cook, Ben Phillips, Harlan Perry, Cameron Llewellyn (Osian Williams 86’), Yori Griffith (Aidan Higgins 86’), Rohan Davies, Tom Woodward, Aimar Govea (Josh Pescatore 45’).

Unused substitutes: Harvey Rees.
