"Ten-man Swansea City Under-18s battled to a draw against Watford at Landore in the Professional Development League. Thomas Woodward's goal saw the Swans pick up a point against the Hornets to extend their unbeaten run to six games. The away side had taken the lead through Jonathan Lawson while the Swans had to play the entirety of the second half a man down after Thomas Searle saw red for denying a goalscoring opportunity. Swansea had shown three changes from the Professional Development League Cup win against the Hornets on Tuesday, with Harlan Perry, Jack Cooper and Seb Dabrowski all returning to the side. However, Watford took the lead within the first five minutes. Lawson won the ball high up the pitch and drove into the box before unleashing a curling strike that flew into the bottom corner to open the scoring. The Swans almost replied immediately. Sammy Henia-Kamau brought down a long ball, but his effort was straight at Sam Morris in the Watford goal. However, Swansea did get the equaliser 10 minutes later when a quick counter-attack resulted in Henia-Kamau playing Woodward through on goal, and the forward slotted the ball home. Watford then had a fantastic chance to retake the lead but Lawson was denied by Margetson, who parried the ball away, with Kristian Shevchenko’s follow-up effort blocked by covering defenders. Shevchenko continued to look bright in the early stages, and he played in Max Hunt, who forced Margetson into another good save. The Swans responded and almost took the lead for the first time, only for Morris to get down well to save a close-range effort from Dabrowski. The hosts were then reduced to 10 men late into the first half, Searle was dismissed for denying a goalscoring opportunity when he brought down Shevchenko just outside the box. It left Swansea facing an uphill challenge, and the first chance of the second half fell to the Hornets when a Conrad Hunt strike was well saved by Margetson, who made the block with his leg. The game became scrappy with stoppages throughout the second half, although a chance did fall to Watford’s Alfie King, but he could not keep his header on target from a cross. Down the other end, Perry sent a free-kick flew just past the post from 20 yards out, while Josh Pescatore's audacious long-range effort drifted just wide as the spoils were shared. " Swansea City Under 18s: Kit Margetson, Harlan Perry, Tom Searle, Jacob Cook, Jack Cooper (captain), Iestyn Jones, Aimar Govea (Josh Pescatore 58’), Yori Griffith, Sammy Henia-Kamau (Caio Ifans 58’), Tom Woodward, Sebastian Dabrowski.

Coach Anthony Wright spoke of his pride in Swansea City Under-21s' performance against Cardiff City, but admitted they paid for missed chances in the 2-2 draw at Landore. "The Swans took the lead through a header from Mitchell Bates, but the Bluebirds equalised shortly before half-time thanks to Cian Ashford." "Swansea started the second half on the front foot and restored their advantage through a Joe Thomas header from a corner, but the Bluebirds piled on late pressure and managed to equalise two minutes into added time through Romaine Sawyers.

"Since arriving in Swansea, I have seen the positive impact the Supporters’ Trust has on this club and this community. I have forged a strong working relationship with the Trust leadership, and I am extremely grateful for the time we spend together." "From our first meeting, the Trust have pushed the club to be more transparent and more direct with supporters. It’s important to me that I do more to strengthen my bond with each of you." "While fans’ forums, chairman’s letters and other opportunities to speak with one another are great, I do not believe it gives you the full access you deserve. I want you to have more, and I want this to be the most open and direct relationship between a chairman and his supporters this club has seen.

| Forum Thread | Christian Horner back in eye of F1 storm after email leaks alleged messages ... at 09:48 1 Mar 2024
Just when "Short Man Syndrome" thought he could smirk again this weekend - this happens. 😂 "The opening of the new Formula One season was dramatically overshadowed on Thursday evening after a leaked email purporting to contain images of messages between Christian Horner and the female member of staff who made a complaint against him was sent to media, team members and senior personnel within F1 and the sport’s governing body the FIA." "Less than 24 hours after the result of the investigation into Horner for alleged inappropriate behaviour had exonerated the Red Bull team principal and dismissed the grievance, the sport was once more engulfed in speculation and conjecture after the anonymous email circulated around the paddock at the first race of the season in Bahrain." "The email which was sent from two different email addresses three separate times to the recipients and contained 79 images on a Google drive link including what purports to be messages between Horner and the female employee whose complaint prompted Red Bull Racing’s parent company Red Bull GmbH to instigate an investigation several weeks ago." https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-autosport/1872501/Christian-Horner-FIA-F1-Red |
