FULL TIME | Not the most interesting game of football I've ever seen, possibly the least interesting game. Skillful young players in the Newcastle United Academy physically outmatched by Wrexham, who scored one scrappy goal but failed to create much else. Back to first team football on Saturday.

HALF TIME | Wrexham used their physicality to take the lead and hold play up across the pitch, but Newcastle's technical skill is helping them create clear cut chances that Wrexham have been very fortunate to see fly over the crossbar. It's a weakened Wrexham team, but they should still expect to win today.

Goal Wrexham! The keeper spills the ball under pressure from Waters, and after several goal line clearances, Dalby slots it home!

TEAM NEWS | It's the EFL Trophy! Wrexham won this trophy in 2005, so there's definitely something to fight for, even as we play a weaker team today. Loan signing Okonkwo makes his first appearance, Tunnicliffe returns from injury, and Evans looks like he's starting in the heart of the defense.

Off to #HomePark shortly. In hospitality prior to Argyle #pafc v Charlton Athletic #cafc in the Johnsons Paint Trophy #JPT #EFLTrophy. Not expecting much of a crowd in this unloved competition.

There's some #Football going on today! #FGR #ForestGeenRovers #VeganRovers (seriously: a #Vegan football club) take on their dearest rivals #Cheltenham in the #EFLTrophy #PapaJohnsTrophy #PizzaCup, the 3rd most prestigious cup tournament in English football (after #FACup and #EFLCup). So, it's a kinda minor competition. However, the final will be played at #Wembley, a fairly big deal for the smaller teams. Plus chances for #Rotation, playing #Youngsters, etc. 🟢 ⚫ ⚽ https://www.fgr.co.uk/
