Jon Grey | Cup game a learning opportunity for younger players
Jon Grey believes a youthful Swansea City Under-21s side will have learnt a lot from their Premier League Cup defeat against Stoke City.
When Swansea City Ladies midfielder Emma Beynon was young, she had to make a 172-mile round-trip to Bristol City if she wanted to watch women’s football at an EFL stadium. But on Sunday she and her team-mates will take to the Swansea.com Stadium pitch for the second time this season when they host Cardiff City Women.
Head coach Russell Martin believes Swansea City will reap the benefits of their week-long training camp in Scotland, and has praised his squad for the attitude they have shown as they prepare for the return to Championship action.
When Ria Hughes took to the field for Swansea City Ladies against Aberystwyth Town at the end of October, it capped a remarkable return to action less than two months after giving birth to her daughter.
