St Joseph's Junior school to represent Swans at Utilita Kids Cup regional finals

St Joseph’s Junior School are set to represent Swansea City at the Utilita Kids Cup regional final after winning Swansea City AFC Foundation’s local final. 

The local final - held at Coleg Sir Gar in Llanelli - saw 14 winning teams from tournaments in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire compete against each other for a place in the next round.

The Port Talbot school came out on top in a dramatic final with a narrow victory over Cwmrhydyceirw on penalties.

St Joseph’s Junior School will now travel to Luton in March, where they will represent the Swans in the Utilitia Kids Cup Championship south regional final.

Curtis Grant, foundation education manager, said: "We love running these annual competitions, it gives us the chance to make a further impact in our local communities. This year we have had 105 schools enter across seven different locations.

"The competition has been well-contested throughout and its great to see the fun the pupils are having in the meantime.

"St Joseph's are a fitting representative as this is their second win in three years."
