Pre-Season Friendly

Announced earlier that we are at home to Hereford FC on Saturday 18th July 2015, with the gate receipts split between the clubs.

Hereford FC Club Secretary, Martin Watson told Bulls News:

‘We’re particularly pleased to make the commitment to travel to Merthyr.

‘Many people involved at Pennydarren Park have been a fantastic source of information for us as we have gone through the process of setting up our club and we were very keen to organise a game against them as a mark of our gratitude and to cement the bond between the two clubs.

‘The match is likely to see us reunited with a number of old friends and we also look forward to congratulating Merthyr properly on winning the Southern League South and West Division this season.’

Great news....another game to look forward too....Dean Clarke playing?.....Boz

Excellent news and something to look forward to.

Great stuff!

What League will Hereford be in next season?

They won't know until the allocations are made by the FA in the Summer.

By rights they should be at the level below our current one, which it's said in their case would be what's now called the Midland Football League. But they're hoping to persuade the FA to put them in Southern League Division One South & West.

Announced today that Hereford have appointed Peter Beadle as manager - a popular choice with their fans.

According to Bulls News:

'The pre-season match at Merthyr Town on Saturday, July 18th is now a double header.

'With Merthyr having a 3G surface, the Bulls u18 youth team will face their Merthyr counterparts at 11am ahead of the Beadle vs Jenkins first team game at 3pm.'

Look forward to this fixture! they have already sold over 500 ST and their fans are second to none at this level.

Further games arranged-

Gloucester City of Conference North at Cinderford on 28th July
Weston-Super-Mare of Conference South at home on 1st August

Shall I ask Solihull?

Wouldn,t it be nice to have a game with Taffs Well. We have played AFC Porth a couple of times who are of the same standard and share the gate receipts, after all where would we be now?.

Aberdare Town would be nice. Jack Howe and Luke Jones are playing for them now, I'm led to believe.

Yes, I've thought that ever since the season we played there.

We played Taffs Well in a friendly at PP in August 2011

Malcolm produced a programme for the game!

I should have amplified that I've always thought it would be nice to have an annual away friendly with Taffs Well in recognition of them hosting us for that season.

Would have liked that Weston game away!

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside"

Luke Jones should still b at the club he is wasted in Welsh League.

Luke Jones is a decent player but carnt see him playing in mid field over players that are there now and no doubt Steve Jenkins will bring in new players.

True!But very versatile player played well @ rb & in hole But I agree SJ will bring in new players.

Shame really cause it would be nice to see local lads up there.and of course merthyr have a good r/b dan also adam Davies who's playing left back.

We're away against Cinderford on Tuesday 21 July.
