Swansea City AFC 5-0 Carlisle United
We got the sun we were looking for today and started off with a nice breakfast at home and had an amazing lunch at local Spanish restaurant la Braseria before heading off to the match. We went to the Liberty Stadium and saw the hosts Swansea City defeat Carlisle United 5-0. The atmosphere was amazing, and with an almost capacity crowd on hand the Swans took an early lead on 7 minutes and never looked back. Swansea has a team full of decent players and played a very good style of football, making Carlisle look second rate. The win put them in the sixth position in the league. With the quality of the team and the stadium only minutes away we anticipate attending many more matches. Come on you Swans!
