Marvin Andrews on top as Wrexham FC reserves beat Morecambe 2-1

FORMER Trinidad international Marvin Andrews was a commanding presence in his first outing for Wrexham, despite scoring a second-half own goal in a 2-1 win against Morecambe last night.
The 34-year old defender, who was a cult figure during his spell with Glasgow Rangers, strolled through the match and didn’t have as much to prove to manager Dean Saunders as the Dragons’ other debutant, Mathias Pogba.
The gangly striker, a brother to Manchester United’s Paul, is on trial at the Racecourse. He worked hard to impress in a evenly-matched contest, edged in terms of chances by the home side.
Visiting keeper Laurie Walker made a fine save from winger Danny Racchi – who signed for Wrexham on a non-contract basis yesterday – before Johnny Hunt missed a sitter.
Immediately after the break another opportunity went begging when Adrian Cieslewicz rounded off a 40-yard dash by firing wide.
But Kevin Gall finally made the breakthrough in the 54th minute, although his strike was cancelled out by Andrews 10 minutes later when he inadvertently diverted a Scott Brown free kick past Chris Maxwell.
The winner came 10 minutes from time through substitute Louis Moss.
Racchi’s deal means the 22-year-old, a former Bury player, can play for Wrexham but is also free to leave if another club offers him a contract.
The winger said: “Since I’ve been here, I’ve realised just what a good set-up the club has, and I’m hoping we can still get to the stage where the offer of a contract will be on the table.”
