Tony Pennock's youth team will finish top of their Puma Youth Alliance Cup group if they can pick up at least a draw away at Bristol Rovers tomorrow (11am).

The young Swans have enjoyed a successful spell in Group Two with three wins out of four matches and a point against second-placed Rovers, who sit just behind Pennock's side on eight points, will send them through as group winners.

Following an opening defeat at Plymouth Argyle, when the travelling side included no fewer than four Under-16 players, back-to-back home wins against Yeovil (5-0) and Torquay (3-2) and last Saturday's 1-0 success at Exeter have propelled the youngsters to the top of the table.
