The NEWFA Cup Final presented an opportunity to take a look at the Racecourse Ground following the end of Wrexham FC's season a couple of weeks ago.
As Media Officer for Buckley Town it was pleasing to see them lift the trophy following a dramatic game which saw them overcome a strong Airbus UK second string. Having missed an early penalty and then reduced to 10 men - with forward Neil Wynne taking over in goal for half an hour - it was even more remarkable that Buckley dominated the game and won 3-0 thanks to some excellent goals.

As for the Racecourse - developments are quickly starting to take shape, certainly the speed in which the flats are being built on the car park right next to the Yale Stand. Unfortunately they will overlook a pitch in its worst state for quite some time. Clearly the demands of top-flight Rugby League (Crusaders RL) and Blue Square Premier football are taking their toll. Its pock-marked, the white markings for both sports clash and are unclear, while the ball bobbles when passed along the ground.
Pitch apart, it was a great way to end the term from a Buckley Town perspective with some silverware and Cymru Alliance status assured - follwoing an enjoyable and entertaining season.
