Adrian Tucker v Enfield (home)
Tim Thornley v Hereford (away)
The BBC reports.....
Adrian Tucker has been appointed as goalkeeping coach at Swansea as manager Paulo Sousa builds his back-room team.
Merthyr-born Tucker, 32, joins after 12 years with the technical department of the Welsh Football Trust and replaces departed Spaniard Inaki Bergara.
"This position is something I've been working long and hard to achieve, I'm delighted to be joining," said Tucker.
"When I sat down with Paulo to discuss the position you could see he had a burning ambition to be successful."
Tucker started his career as an apprentice goalkeeper at Torquay, where he played in the reserves with a young Garry Monk.
A shoulder injury cut his professional career short, but he returned to Wales to play for Ebbw Vale, Inter Cardiff, Aberystwyth and Merthyr.
Tucker is one of just three Uefa 'A' licence goalkeeping coaches in Wales, along with Glan Letheren and Pat Mountain.

Don't remember this guy but I didn't move here until December 1990. My first 7 years I spent working in Cardiff and only then moved to my job in the Valleys. I'm sure Carl Thomas, who i work with, would know him as he played for Ton Pentre. |

quite brilliant I'm told but that was from a bluebird! Booked my ticket for Saturday's game (v Valencia) yesterday and spoke to a real Cardiff lad on the phone who had a marvellously slap-dash and matey attitude which left me wondering whether the transaction had gone through. Anyway, after agreeing I'd pick up the ticket on arrival, it nonetheless came in the post today. The little bugger missed out the handling charge part of the script, mind you! |
