Craig Bellamy and his young Bluebirds are out to stop Swansea City’s run of success in the Welsh Youth Cup.
Manager Bellamy and his under-19 players take on the Swansea in the FAW Youth Cup Final at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday (May 1, 7:30pm).
The Swans have lifted this trophy in eight successive seasons, although Cardiff City did not play in all of those competitions, and Bellers is on a mission.
Coaches Jon Gray and Anthony Wright and their Swansea team are aiming to win this cup for the 12th time overall
The West Walians finished sixth in the under-18 Premier Development League South and Grey says: “It’s another cup final and a chance to retain the trophy.
“We take this competition seriously every year.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for the players to experience what it’s like to play at the Liberty Stadium. A different atmosphere comes with it and the game will provide new surroundings for them to get used to.
“Overall, Anthony and I are delighted with how the group have progressed this season.
“It’s important to finish on a high. We want to win playing the way we have all season and we’d be delighted to retain this cup.”
