Wrexham Preview – Will the Welsh side get the job done on home turf?
Backed by the new ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham are a club on the rise. If the Welsh side do not go up this year, it is surely only a matter of time until we see the Dragons back in the Football League.
Wrexham must dust themselves down and go again after weekend’s gut-wrenching FA Trophy final defeat to Bromley at Wembley Stadium. Phil Parkinson’s side lost 1-0 in the national stadium and were also beaten in their last game of the regular National League season.
Wrexham could be the team to beat in the end-of-season play-offs, and they are the favourites to book their spot in yet another Wembley final.
Grimsby Town Preview – Can the Mariners secure another impressive away win?
Grimsby Town finished in sixth spot after 44 league games, winning 23, drawing eight and losing 13. Along the way, the Mariners scored 68 times and shipped 46. They ended up 11 points behind Wrexham.
Grimsby edged past Notts County at Meadow Lane in the quarter-finals of the play-offs earlier in the week. Gavan Holohan netted in the 96th minute to force extra time. One minute before scheduled penalties, Andrew Smith won it for Town.
