Aidan Higgins' goal wasn't enough as two first-half strikes from Wigan Athletic meant defeat for Swansea City Under-18s at Landore.

Wigan opened the scoring in the 15th minute through a low shot from striker Oscar Harris, with Harrison Bettoni putting them two goals to the good shortly after. 

Higgins pulled one back for the hosts following the restart, but they were unable to find a leveller.
