Ahead of Saturday’s game, Southern League Chairman, David Martin, was on hand to present Merthyr Town manager, Paul Michael with the PST Sport Club of the Month award for December 2024 in the Pitching In Southern League Premier South.
The month started with a hard-fought 3-2 victory at Taunton Town. It was a game which saw them race into a two-goal lead within the opening 20 minutes only to be pegged back to 2-2 by half-time. A goal early in the second period from Kane Simpson proved to be the winner.
Things were a little more straightforward in their next outing as they went to Poole Town and came home 6-1 victors. They didn’t have things all their own way, though, and actually trailed at half-time before a second half hat-trick from Lewys Twamley, a brace from Ricardo Rees and a further strike from Kobi Preston-Watkins saw them add to their impressive goalscoring tally.
Another game on the road, this time to Hungerford Town, once more saw them behind at the break only for Cole Jarvis, Tom Handley and Lewys Twamley to give them a deserved victory by three goals to one.
The month came to a close back on home soil as they beat Walton & Hersham 5-2 with Lewys Twamley helping himself to another hat-trick alongside two goals from Kane Simpson. This victory saw them end the year proudly at the top of the table.
