We visited the newly named JOMA High Performance Centre in Landore on Monday, 12 August 2024, to photograph the opening Under 21 Professional Development League game of the season between Swansea City and Crewe Alexandra.
Swansea City’s Under-21s kicked off their Professional Development League campaign in style, securing an impressive victory over Crewe Alexandra at Landore, thanks to a dominant second-half performance.
After a tightly contested first half, the Swans exploded into action after the break, scoring four goals to take control of the match. Glory Nzingo was the star of the show, netting a remarkable 15-minute hat-trick to put the game beyond doubt.
His clinical finishing was complemented by a goal from Thomas Woodward, last season’s top scorer for the under-18s, who continued his fine form by getting on the scoresheet.
The victory marks a promising start to the campaign for the Swans, who will no doubt look to build on an encouraging performance.
