Newly-Hatched Penguins Named After Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney by Wrexham’s Rival Town

Fans always enjoy some fun banter between two rival teams. Wrexham has risen to prominence following the big Hollywood takeover that saw actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds buy the side. The duo has done a great job so far in helping the team achieve success, with the team moving out of the National League into League Two.

While Wrexham has done a great job so far, their local rivals Chester FC have somewhat struggled in the National League in recent years. However, both clubs share a healthy banter with a zoo in Chester, taking things to a hilarious level as they named two newborn Penguins after Wrexham owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Chester Zoo names newborn Penguins after Wrexham owners

In a hilarious move, a zoo in Chester seemingly paid homage to rival Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The zoo recently had two recent additions to their family as they hatched Humboldt Penguin chicks this summer. The zookeeper, who is responsible for taking care of the penguins, had a great idea as he named the chicks Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Chester Zoo took their official Twitter account as they mentioned the incident while informing the fans that the Penguins had started to take their swimming lessons in recent weeks.

This seems like a great way to have some fun while supporting your rivals at the same time. Both Ryan and Rob have done a great job since their takeover of Wrexham. The side following a slow start has seemingly started to catch their momentum and will be looking to bag a win in their coming games.

Wrexham looking to get a win over Barrow

While Wrexham has slowly started to pick up the pace, the team is still languishing 15th in the League Two points table. The Red Dragons have a great opportunity to climb up the standings as they will face 6th-placed Barrow in their upcoming encounter at home.

The Ryan Reynolds-owned side has been unbeaten in their last three games and will be looking to keep the streak with a win over their opponents. While the team has been a little sub-par when it comes to their defense, the frontline has been on point, scoring fifteen goals in their last five games.

Wrexham fans will hope that their team continues to deliver in the upcoming games. The side has made it clear that they are eyeing consecutive promotions and a win over Barrow could be a step in the right direction.
