Last Meeting
Earlier this season, The Martyrs travelled to Plymouth in early November, where an exciting game saw the Martyrs win 4-2 thanks to goals from Ricardo Rees, Kane Simpson, Lewys Twamley and Frazer Thomas!
One To Watch
Parkway stalwart, Callum Hall, has been an ever present for the yellows over the last few seasons, and the versatile midfielder has bagged himself 7 goals this season, and likes an effort or two from distance.
