Pre-match views

Coach Joe Roberts: "We've finished our under-18s season, and now we've got this to look forward to and we're all excited. We can't wait for Sunday to come around.

"It's going to be a great experience for the boys. A lot of them are from Swansea, and it's a stadium where they've watched a lot of games. So for them to have this opportunity is really special. 

"Luton will pose a tough test. They've done really well in their under-18s league, so they'll be coming into the final with confidence and be looking to cap off their great season.

"Another positive of these competitions is that we're pitted against teams we never usually play, so it's a new experience for both staff and players.

"It'll be really special if we can lift that trophy. It will be a proud moment for everybody."
