According to a podcast I watched last night, City played Merthyr over the weekend in a behind closed doors game which they won 13-1. The presenter was unable to say how strong a side Merthyr had out, but City's team was apparently a mixture of a small number of first team players and young pros who may come into first team contention, but were, in reality under 21 players. Luke Pearce scored a hat trick and Joel Colwill got two, while Rubin Colwill was described as the best player on the pitch.
