Wrexham boost promotion hopes as Chairboys slip up
Western Mail
|April 22, 2025
WREXHAM took a giant step in their bid to earn promotion from League One by beating mid-table Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
-
Club co-owner Rob McElhenney was present to watch James McClean and Ollie Rathbone score midway through the second half and give Phil Parkinson’s side all three points on the seaside, despite a late Rob Apter consolation for Blackpool.
Wrexham moved up to second in the table as a result.
The three points saw Wrexham leapfrog Wycombe into the top two after the Chairboys were beaten 4-0 by Charlton.
