Town ready for one of their toughest tests

CARL Adams believes Stratford Town will face one of the toughest fixtures in their Evo-Stik Southern Premier calendar when they visit Merthyr Town on Tuesday, writes Colin Stoner.

And despite a clear sense of frustration after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Royston Town, the Town manager said it would be typical of an unpredictable league for Stratford to upset the odds with a win.

Adams felt Town had only themselves to blame for not making it three wins in a week on Saturday.

Despite Ben Stephens’ stylishly-taken opener after two minutes, Town could not kick on to grab a crucial second goal and Royston levelled with a 62nd-minute goal from Sam Corcoran.

Now, they head to Merthyr’s 3G pitch at a hostile Penydarren Park to face a Valleys side looking to continue their promotion push.

“Going to Merthyr on a Tuesday night is going to be one of the hardest three games in the league during the season,” said Adams.

“It’s a test for my lads and let’s see how we stand up to it.
