I hope you all enjoy what promises to be an entreating game of football, which ends in a positive result for Swansea University. Enjoy the game
Good afternoon and welcome to Swansea Bay Sports Park for our JD Cymru South League Cup fixture vs, Ynyshir Albions Football Club. A warm welcome to our opponents and their travelling supporters. I have now been in post for eight weeks and to say it has been a baptism of fire would be an understatement. However the staff, students and players have been very welcoming and are working extremely hard to implement new structures and ideas. The start of the season has been very difficult for us due to player availability through students being away and injuries, having said that there have been several promising performances both individually and collectively including a very good 0-0 draw away at Taffs Well on bank holiday Monday. Which is something everyone involved is looking to build on.

# SWANSEAUNIFC
Swansea University has a Welsh League heritage dating back to the 1960s, when under its previous guise as the University College Swansea, the Club played at the highest level of Welsh football for nearly 2 decades. The University first entered the Welsh League in the 1966 67 season and incredibly won Division 2 in that season, sealing promotion to Division 1 at the first time of asking. At that time there were also 3 divisions, the Premier Division, Division 1 and Division 2. The students of Swansea continued to impress in the 1967 68 season by finishing runners up in Division 1 to seal promotion to the Premier Division in just 2 seasons a meteoric rise in similar fashion to the modern day Swansea University team Unfortunately, the club’s stay in the Welsh League Premier Division was short lived and they were relegated at the end of the 1968 69 season but bounced back the following season as Champions of Division 1. Following another relegation in 1971 72, Swansea University stabilized in Division 1 until 1978, when they suffered a drop into Division 2. The club competed in the third tier of the Welsh League until 1985, when sadly it fell out of the league leading to a 32-year exodus which ended in 2017 with the return of the University to the higher levels of the Welsh football pyramid. The Swansea University team of yesteryear prospered and offered a platform for Swansea students to enjoy a high level of football whilst studying in South West Wales. These guiding principles underpinned the resurrection of league football at Swansea University in 2011. Team Swansea was started by a group of forward looking students, but not even the founding members could have predicted the second meteoric rise of the University team which has seen it return to the Welsh League.
CLUB HISTORY # SWANSEAUNIFC
Only in its 6th season, the Club is still in its infancy but has had its fair share of silverware in that time 4 promotions, 2 Gwalia Cups, 1 Senior Cup and an unforgettable 10 0 win in the final of the West Wales Cup in 2015. The pinnacle of the club’s achievement was sealing the Swansea League Championship and West Wales Cup double in May 2017 Which secured a historic return to the Welsh League. The first season back in the Welsh League in the 2017 18 campaign was a stunning success. Promotion to Division 2 was sealed with 3 games to spare as the University clinched the Welsh League Division 3 title with an emphatic 4-0 win away at Caerau FC in Maesteg To cap off a fine season of football, the club not only won the title by playing some remarkable football, they also claimed the Division 3 FAW Fair Play Award, proving that it is possible to win with style, grace and outstanding discipline. The remarkable journey continued the following season when once again, under the guidance of Dafydd Evans and Wyn Thomas, promotion to the new tier 2 JD Cymru South was achieved through finishing runners up in Welsh League Division 2. An outstanding disciplinary record once again saw the University top the Division 2 FAW Fair Play table. Despite being tipped to struggle in the new JD Cymru Championship South, the squad once again showed great quality and resilience and played some fantastic football. The title was secured after 25 matches when Covid 19 brought the 2019-20 season to an end with the Club once again topping the Fair Play league table. Promotion to the JD Cymru Premier League was denied as a Tier 1 License was not awarded but this was subsequently achieved during the aborted 2020 21 campaign
