No-one from the mailing list attended so here is the report from my news page, collated from various news sources:
So we've stopped conceding late goals, but started conceding them in the first 15 minutes! We lined up at the Vetch Field with a new-look 4-5-1 formation but our fourth defeat in the last five games was underway as soon as the 12th minute. Swansea captain David Penney struck early, lobbing Scott Barrett from fully 30 yards. He added a second spectacular goal from 25 yards just three minutes later and from then on Cambridge were always on the ropes.
The Swans added their third on 79 when their two debutant loan signings linked up. Everton's John Hills crossed the ball low and hard, Scott Barrett slipped and Paul Brayson of Newcastle United finished the job. Barrett made some great saves in the dying stages of the game and our late reply came when John Taylor capitalised on some loose marking by heading back across their 'keeper. It will be a long trip home from the Vetch Field tonight.
Swansea now move above us in the table into fourth place, although they have played a game more. Leaders Fulham tonight continued their recent shaky form with a 4-1 home defeat by Cardiff City.
