THERE may have been a few off days already this season, but the lads were back to their best when travelling to Wigan Athletic and seeing off the Premiership side 3-1 at Christopher Park.

Coach Andy Davies was naturally delighted at such a convincing victory.

"It was thoroughly deserved on the day, indeed it could have been by more," he said.

The Young Dragons opened the scoring after just eight minutes at Wigan, when a deep ball was headed back across the face of the goal by Max Penk and centre half Leon Clowes was on hand to steer the ball home.

Wrexham doubled their lead later in the half, when a determined run by Declan Walker ended with the right back crossing for Louis Moss to finish.

The elder of the Moss brothers had also struck the woodwork twice before as the visitors really dominated the game.

There was a brief glimmer of hope for the Latics a minute after the restart for the second half, as Walker was ajudged, rather harshly in the eyes of the Wrexham bench, to have handled the ball in the box amd Wigan scored from the penalty spot.

Yet 10 minutes later and the Reds stretched their lead again. As Declan Walker repeated his cup scoring antics with a long run and thunderous shot that flew into the top corner of the home net.

"That was our best display of the season and much more like we have come to expect from this squad," said Andy.

"Every player, played his part."
