They created several scoring opportunities before Swansea scored the opening goal but Pembs captain Liam Cullen pulled one quickly back and Mark Stobbs added another soon afterwards. Cullen made it 3-1 with a superb header and Billy Truman added Pembs’ fourth just before halftime.The side defended well with Daniel Wainwright, Cameron Jenkins, Ryan Conbeer and Tom Murphy all tackling strongly. Frazer Findlay played well on the flank with Sion O’Sullivan holding the ball well up front. Cullen scored again in the second half to put the game well out of Swansea’s reach.
