Ahead of Monday’s big game, Southern League Chairman, David Martin, presented Merthyr Town Chair, Les Barlow, with the PST Sport Club of the Month award for March 2025.
The Welsh outfit faced a top of the table clash to start the month as they shared the spoils at second-placed AFC Totton. Ricardo Rees put them ahead only for a late equaliser from the home side see honours end even.
A 2-1 home victory over Swindon Supermarine came next as two goals in the opening 13 minutes, from Ricardo Rees and Keiran Evans, did the damage. The visitors went on to pull a goal back but the hosts saw it out.
An away win at Gosport Borough came next where they had to come from behind to achieve it. They trailed for less than ten minutes as Ricardo Rees equalised with 34 minutes on the clock before Keiran Evans put them in front early in the second period. A second goal for Rees with quarter-of-an-hour to go sealed the win.
It was the same scoreline in their next outing and again they had to come from behind to achieve it. Visitors Chertsey Town scored an early opener and this time it took until ten minutes into the second half for the equaliser to arrive courtesy of Callum Ryan-Phillips. The goal galvanised them as Tom Handley went on to bag a brace.
The month ended as they made it a hat-trick of 3-1 successes, this time at Winchester City where Ricardo Rees was quick off the mark with a goal after just two minutes and Lee Lucas doubling the advantage just before the 20-minute mark. Cawley Cox gave them a three-goal advantage on the stroke of half-time and although the home side pulled one back after the break, the managed the remainder of the game well.
