Rhyl 1-4 Wrexham


Wrexham ended Rhyl's trophy run with a dominant display to retain the FAW Premier Cup at Belle Vue on Wednesday.
Rhyl had already won the Welsh Premier title, the Welsh Cup and the Welsh League Cup but this time lost out.

Brian Carey's header gave the Dragons a narrow lead at half-time, but the floodgatesd in the second half.

Paul Barrett stabbed home from close range before Hector Sam struck twice, although Rhyl had the consolation of Andy Moran's right-foot rocket.

As well as the trophy and flying the flag for the Nationwide League over the Welsh Premier, Wrexham will be delighted with the £100,000 winner's cheque that goes with the title, while Rhyl receive £50,000.

Rhyl: Paul Smith, James Brewerton, Timmy Edwards, Marc Limbert, Lee Atherton, Stuart Graves, Mark Powell, Gareth Wilson, Steve Walters, Chris McGinn, Andy Moran, Gary Powell.

Wrexham: Michael Ingham, Steve Roberts, Brian Carey, Dennis Lawrence, Carlos Edwards, Paul Edwards, Darren Ferguson, Paul Barrett, Steve Thomas, Hector Sam, Chris Llewellyn. Substitutes: Paul Whitfield, Shaun Holmes, Mark Jones, Lee Jones.

Great win for Wrexham, the financial 'crisis' has been well documented at The Racecourse this season, so the £100,000 prize money will come in handy in deed, i just hope that the money will go towards keeping the majority of the 14 out of contract players next week!

Great start and i honestly think many pundits tippied Rhyl for the win, anyone have a flutter on the game?

Andy Moran scored, that must please him and the Rhyl fans, 40 odd goals in the Welsh Premiership this season, and didnt do a bad job at all yesterday considering Wrexham were in another class.

Rhyl were chasing their fourth trophy of the season, but Wrexham had other plans, good win, and it was nice to see a few goals as well which is a novelty for Wrexham fans these days!

Well done Denis Smith and the lads, £100,000 thank you very much.

Wrexham domianted really, you can see the gap between the Football League and the Welsh Premier. Still can't believe the Swans lost to Rhyl :furious:! Wrexham have won this 3 out of 5 now haven't they?

Well it was clear that the difference in quality was fairly large, and Swansea had I'd say a strong side considering they were playing Rhyl, and Rhyl won 2-0, comfortably i'd say as well, Trundle especially didnt get a sniff!

I was speaking to my yesterday actually, can't remember for the life of me how many times we've won it now! :weirdsmil

How longs the Faw Premier cup been up and running now?

I think its .....

Wrexham winners 2004
Wrexham winners 2003
Cardiff winners 2002
Wrexham winners 2001
Barry Town winners 2000
Wrexham winners 1999??

My minds gone blank, maybe WP Webmaster might help us! :lol1: or Valls! :D

Pretty sure it started in 1997/98 as the FAW Invitiation Cup - we won it first two years in a row.
