This Tuesday evening Merthyr Town made another midweek trip to the British capital. This time taking on Hayes & Yeading, at the SkyEx Stadium, for a Southern League fixture. Following a postponement earlier in the season. Due to a frozen pitch.
Starting this evening’s affair. Hayes and Yeading had the first chance of the game. Getting into the box, batting a low effort at the keeper. Up the other end. Merthyr managed to have their opening opportunity. Putting pressure, the host shot stopper was forced to lump a long ball. Averting danger deep in the final third. Shortly followed by another attempt at goal for the visitors. This time being slipped wide. Late defending diverting the chance, which came at pace. Creating their next chance. Offside ended the Martyrs proceeding place, just as the attacker advanced round the shit stopper. Keeping up the momentum. Merthyr managed to get a corner. Cross causing a chaos in the area. Eventually cleared away. An attempt squandered moments later. Taking the lead on twenty-nine minutes. The visitors ventured forward. Frazier Thomas delivery, darted directly on Noah’s head. Converting from close range. However, the host equalised within five minutes. Finding the back of the net. Jacob Adams advancing the play to pick out Mosses. As the teams approached the break. Merthyr had back-to-back chances. Neither able to put them ahead, as the home side did. A screamer with four minutes to go.
Getting the second half underway. Jaimie Cogman made a super save in the travelling team’s net. Hayes heaping on the pressure, soon after play resumed. Before a reply from Ricardo Rees. Running into the final third. Testing the out rushing shot stopper. Shortly followed another attempt at goal, earning a corner for their efforts. Trying to get on even terms. Tom worked tirelessly. Cutting away from his marker, he picked out a popped chance. Caught by the keeper on his second attempt. Having spilled the first. Opening their second half account. Merthyr levelled the score. Impressive effort from distance. Ten minutes remained when Hayes added their third. Taking the game out of the guest hands, sealing the victory. Converting from close range. Creating the chance just outside the box.
