The Martyrs are managed by Gavin Williams and are having a mixed season after declaring some hopefully temporary financial issues. Currently they are in 18th place in the table with 34 points from their 29 games. Their home sees 5 wins and 5 draws in their 14 games to date. Earlier this season the Poppies triumphed 5-0 at home but generally the Martyrs have had good results against us- doing the double last season when they reached the play-offs- and winning all recent matches at Merthyr. In their squad will be Williams himself along with striker Ian Traylor, Oliver and Adam Davies, Ryan Prosser, Corey Jenkins, Kerry Morgan and Jarrad Wright- pending a possible suspension.
