Wrexham 2 Stockport County1 ( Football League 2) Saturday 27 April 2024
County went down 2-1 today against runners up Wrexham in front of a fully engaged crowd of well over 12000 at the Racecourse Ground . Evans first half goal gave County a lead that for long periods of the game they looked unlikely to lose. Enter Referee Stephen Martin with a seemingly unending stream of free kicks that thoroughly filleted any rhythm the blues had built up, by no means all the kicks merited in my view. The upshot of this was a corresponding up surge in the Welsh team’s confidence and a couple of goals that won Phil Parkinson`s team the game. I thought County`s top performers were Horsfall and Pye both signing off landmark seasons containing top quality performances, with one each of the same ilk! Sarcevic always hinted something special was just around the corner and Evans emphasised his continuing value to the County set up with another fine goal. We lost the game of course ….but the best teams lose some times ,so we look to next season
