Merthyr on the screen, on the lawn and in the pennants

Merthyr's Div 2 Golf Pennants team, pictured with Eildon, put up a valiant effort in the competition this year. It did not translate to the scoreboard, but the club was pleased to participate as usual, and looks forward to the Div 3 Golf pennants competition which is being scheduled for the coming months.

Merthyr CC welcomed new members to the club with a new member induction ceremony held on the same day as World Croquet Day. Members also brought some friends to come and try out croquet. The club has yet to see if any will come back to play, as the constant rains since the event have had the lawns largely out of action.
