A strong Cardiff City XI put in an impressive display to beat a revolutionised Llanelli outfit in West Wales. Goals from Andrew Campbell and Toni Koskela secured a pre-season win for Paul Wilkinson's second-string.
Playing against a strong Llanelli side, Paul Wilkinson enjoyed the luxury of fielding a strong Cardiff City XI at Stebonheath Park for the second string's final pre-season friendly. The Bluebirds were too good for their Welsh Premier counterparts, a team who look set to turn professional and have signed a squad of impressive players under the leadership of Spanish director of football Lucas Cazorla Luque.
Goals from out-of-favour Andy Campbell and Scandinavian midfielder Toni Koskela were enough for City to win in West Wales, as a number of other first-team players got back into action. Martyn Margetson kept a clean sheet between the sticks, whilst Joe Ledley played 45 minutes.
The reserves have enjoyed a successful
