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

Hello Out There !

Hello Out There ! It`s 3 years now since hedgegrower ran the `Hatters Worldwide` series of reports ( see Miscellany on the Labels drop down)on https://hedgegrower.blogspot.com . The series, kicked off by our great friend from Japan Akito Aoki   ran for 11 splendid stories and each one painted a vivid picture of just what it means to be part of the County Family outside the UK. After Saturday there will be no   match reports for a while so hedgegrower thought it would be good to hear from our `exiled `County supporters again. So ,if you were one of the 11 in our original series we would love to get an update from you on life for you and yours since last you contacted us   with a few photos if possible. Tell us   how it feels to be champions- your story will be published . Or. If you are an overseas County fan and have not sent us your story before ,please take this opportunity and tell us about your life as a County supporter and please include a few photos . Wherever on
