Wrexham lose FA Trophy final at Wembley Stadium (LeaderLive)

WREXHAM suffered FA Trophy heartbreak after losing 1-0 against National League rivals Bromley at Wembley Stadium.

Hyde had the ball in the back of the net but the goal was ruled out for offside but the leveller never came and Bromley celebrated victory. Parkinson made a double change with 15 minutes to go with Hall-Johnson and Dan Jarvis replacing McAlinden and O'Connor respectively, and the Reds switched to a back four in a bid to get back into the contest. Bromley continued to press and Cheek headed into the arms of Dibble while only a superb challenge by Max Cleworth in the area denied the striker a scoring opportunity. Harry Forster failed to hit the target for Bromley while Wrexham continued to get into promising positions and Davies went down in the area following a decent move but a penalty wasn't given. Bromley responded with Corey Whitely firing over the bar with their first sight of goal but Wrexham went close to breaking the deadlock after 14 minutes when the lively Mullin squared the ball to Jordan Davies whose low drive was gathered by goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe. The first chance fell to Wrexham in the third minute as Paul Mullin ran to the by-line and pulled the ball back for Ollie Palmer whose shot was blocked by a defender.

WREXHAM were beaten by Bromley in the FA Trophy final at Wembley on Sunday.

The match proved cagey in the opening period as the two teams found their feet, before eventually coming to life after the break. But they will have to do it off the back of Wembley disappointment. And they will now attempt to enter the Football League through the play-offs.
