A bit like ours then!

HT 0-0. Jarrad Wright missed the best chance for Merthyr from Yakubu.

ft 0-0.

A generally poor game on the South Coast played out in front of a crowd of 112 with around 25 Martyrs in attendance and 1 dog a 13 year old terrier called Tuffey. Ground standard generally poor there but a small bar in the ground and no problems with the home support all very welcoming.

Not much to report in essence first half Merthyr looked the better team and came forward but chances were far and few between. The second half levelled out the home keeper was sadly rarely tested and the hosts rattled the post and had nearly got the ball over the line in the following melee.

Heavy pitch as you would expect given recent weather and blustery never going to suit the Martyrs style of pass and move football.

One worry from the afternoon Gethin Hill pulled up and came off towards the end not sure if hamstring or dead leg etc fingers crossed he makes a swift recovery.
