We welcome Gloucester City to Penydarren Park on New Years Day for our HUGE Pitching IN Southern League Premier fixture (3pm Kick Off).

The Martyrs will be aiming to start 2025 maintaining our impressive form and will be looking to extend the lead at the top of the Southern League table, but will have to overcome a strong Gloucester City side, who currently sit in 3rd place themselves.
