Football unites for Play Safe weekend
Football is set to unite again this weekend to promote Play Safe – a countrywide campaign to focus attention on the vital importance of safeguarding in our national game.
Second-half goals from Kristian Fletcher (2) and strikes from Ruben Davies and Liam Smith kicked off Swansea City’s Under-21s’ Premier League Cup campaign with a comfortable win over Hull City at Landore Training Ground.
It does make for an incongruous sight, seeing a professional footballer draped in wiring clipped across the chest and arms all feeding into a laptop nearby; but this is a vital part of the cardiac screening process that every player must go through as part of the club’s player health and care protocols.
