Wrexham fans are still reflecting on Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against Stockport County but there has been action elsewhere.

Phil Parkinson suffered another difficult away day on Saturday as Wrexham lost 1-0 to Stockport County at Edgeley Park.

Louie Barry’s goal was enough to hand Wrexham a third League One defeat of the season – and all have come away from home.

Wrexham will be keen to hit back against Exeter City this weekend but Saturday’s display will have left fans disappointed.

Parkinson loved Callum Burton’s display but that was effectively the only positive to come out of Saturday’s defeat.

Wrexham field team in charity match as Humphrey Ker shines

Wrexham fans may need a lift this week and the club’s community work has at least provided a heartwarming story.

A team representing Wrexham has travelled over to New York to face off against a Kick4Life team, helping raise funds for young people in Lesotho.

Wrexham confirmed on the club’s official website that there would be some notable names in action.

The main attraction was Humphrey Ker as the Wrexham executive director put on the Wrexham shirt and captained the team.

There was even an appearance from Eric Allyn just weeks after the Allyn family invested in Wrexham.

Parkinson has praised the Allyn family and seeing him show up for this community event will please supporters.

Wrexham ended up winning the game and took to social media to praise Ker for his impact on the pitch.

Wrexham rise in United States

The £2million takeover from Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds has sparked a wave of Wrexham supporters from the United States.

‘Welcome to Wrexham’ has certainly helped generate that interest and we may see more of these small games in the future.

We have seen Wrexham take part in The Soccer Tournament with some first-team players featuring in the seven-a-side tournament over in North Carolina.

Former Wigan Athletic ace Roger Espinoza turned out for Wrexham over the summer, playing alongside Mark Howard, Aaron James, David Jones and Jake Bickerstaff.

Lee Trundle has praised American fans for supporting Wrexham in the United States and that is bound to continue moving forward.
