Town's reserves surrendered a first half lead to take a point from their first away clash of the season against Swansea City at Port Talbot.

Peter Shirtliff's visitors made a strong start to the game, with Thomas Dossevi and Matt Clark both going close, before second year scholar Josh Parsons finished well after an excellent run and cross from Alan O'Brien on 25 minutes.

Parsons could have made it two shortly after, but fired narrowly over, and while the Swans went close to equalising on the stroke of half time through Scott Donnelly,Town went into the break 1-0 up.

The lead lasted only eight minutes into the second half however, as Casey Thomas crossed well for James Loveridge who fired the ball past Phil Smith into the corner to level the scores.

Lone striker Dossevi went close to restoring Town's lead late on, before Charlie Kasler shot just wide for the hosts in the last minute, the game ending one apiece.
