Preview | Carmarthen Town v Swansea City U21s

Swansea City Under-21s play their first competitive fixture of the 2025-26 season on Saturday when they take on Carmarthen Town in the first round of the Nathaniel MG Cup (2.30pm KO).

The Swans were drawn at home initially, but have agreed with the JD Cymru South club to reverse the tie and play at Richmond Park.

If the young Swans progress to the second round, they will face either Llantwit Major or Afan Lido away.

This is the third campaign in a row in which the young Swans have featured in the senior competition. 

The development side were handed a wildcard for the Welsh League Cup competition last term but bowed out in the first round after being knocked out on penalties by Baglan Dragons. 

However, during the 2023-24 campaign, the age-grade side enjoyed a memorable run to reach the final in their inaugural participation.
