The Vanarama National League is approaching its end. The title race is getting interesting. Notts County is giving a tough time to Ryan Reynolds’ co-owned club Wrexham AFC. Both clubs have set their sights on the automatic promotion spot and will battle it out against each other on April 10.
Wrexham came into the game knowing Notts County won their latest game to displace them from the top spot. However, Wrexham had played two lesser games than County and was level on points with them. They knew a win against Oldham Athletic would restore them to the top spot.

All the goals might not be going in but this is the best I’ve seen Wrexham play in quite some time. Even better than the win over D&R. It’s an offensive clinic. #WrexhamAFC #WrexhamFX #WxmAFC
