The Swans won their opening game of the season by seeing off reigning Under-18 PDL Cup champions Peterborough United 2-1 at Landore, before suffering defeat against Crewe on their travels last time out.

Sheffield Wednesday kicked off their season with a 2-1 victory over Cardiff City on home turf. The young Owls finished their 2022-23 season in fourth place in the Northern PDL division. 

Pre-match views:

Under-18s' coach Ricky King: "We'll be working on the areas we identified that needed improving on from Crewe, and we'll look to implement those come Saturday.

"Regarding Sheffield Wednesday, they'll bring physicality and intensity, something the boys will need to match so, as a group, we look forward to facing them."

Sheffield Wednesday 1 Swansea City 2

Swansea City Under-18s sealed their first victory of the season as goals from Iwan Morgan and Geoff Bony helped them to pick up three points when they last faced Sheffield Wednesday in the Professional Development League.

After a goalless first half, in-form striker Morgan added to his tally for the season by putting the visitors in front, only for the Owls to respond through Joey Phuthi just minutes later.

But Swansea would strike the decisive blow through Bony as he finished well after showing good strength to hold off a defender. 

Swansea City Under-18s: Evan Watts (c), Sam Parker (Kyrell Wilson 61) Richard Faakye, Seb Dabrowski, Jada Mawongo, Jacob Cook, Dan Watts, Josh Carey (Rohan Davies 68), Geoff Bony, Iwan Morgan, Zane Myers (Aimar Govea 66)

Unused Subs: Cameron Llewellyn, Ewan Griffiths.
