We visited the Swansea City Academy in Landore on Saturday, 2 September 2023, to photograph the Under 18 Professional Development League Cup fixture between Swansea City and Cardiff City.
A Sammy Henia-Kamau hat-trick and Jack Fanning header got Swans Professional Development League Cup campaign off to a flying start as they beat south Wales rivals Cardiff City at Landore.
The Swans took an early lead through a Henia-Kamau goal, before Daniel Ola levelled for the visitors, before defender Jack Fanning put the Swans back in front once again.
Sammy Henia-Kamau then converted a penalty to give the Swans 3-1 half time lead.
Cardiff rallied after the break and pulled a goal back after substitute Will Spiers converted a spot-kick for the Bluebirds.
Henia-Kamau completed his hat-trick in the 75th minute to ensure the win for the young Swans.
