FT Tiverton 2 Merthyr 2 as Martyrs continue their recent unbeaten league run away,

We seem to play better when we are late for games. Perhaps we should try it when we are home.

Road was closed in morning after a man in his 40s died following an accident in the early hours between Portishead and Clevedon junctions.

An entertaining game for the neutral but, more importantly another valuable and impressive point picked up on our travels, especially under the circumstances. I’m glad the game was played, although it was really heavy going under foot and it saves us another midweek trek later in the season. For the second successive game, the opposing manager has given credit to the Merthyr players/management and that must give them a big confidence boost. Today, we did go toe to toe with what they had to offer and we weren’t afraid to take the game to them too. I asked for cover for the front line and Craig Norman has settled well in his first two appearances in the shirt. Harris slotted in to an unfamiliar role as defender but, keeper Fuller made two outstanding saves, especially the one on 89 mins. to certainly keep us level and claim the point. With a free week without a game, it gives the squad and in particular those injured, a bit more time to recuperate. Well done for getting through a crazy week.

Yes must admit I for one was glad we came away with atleast a draw.
If we can finish the season in the top half then it will be an exceptional season compared to recent past.
It’s great to see out attendance numbers better than previous seasons aswell especially with our cost of living crisis.
