Is it ever warm in Maldon?

Tuesday 28 February 2023, Colchester United U21 3 Swansea City U21 4 - Professional Development League, Park Drive, Maldon

Cold wind at Maldon and unlike my last visit, you had to pay this time - good news that the tea hut was open again (card only). Even first 20 minutes then Swansea scored on 23 and Colchester fell apart and conceded again 2 minutes later and were all over the place, however they recovered and pulled one back on 333 minutes then went level on 45 and should have scored again in injury time.

Second half, saw chances at either end and Colchester took the lead on 57 minutes. Swansea then made a number of substitutions and that helped them take control of the game, scoring in the 64th and 69th minute and they should have had a few more before the end. Ref did well to keep control of that last 20 minutes, a number of players could have seen red but in the end only a couple of yellow cards were shown.
