Wrexham FC Badge Bury FC Badge

Saturday 15th March 2008

A momentous day in the history of British football.

Slugging it out in the rain at the foot of League 2 were two mini-goliaths of the game - Wrexham and Bury :- winner takes all, red versus blue, good versus evil, Persil versus Ariel Automatic etc. And sponsoring the whole event were us, the Welsh Space Agency. Guest of honour, thanks to some nifty fax machine adaptation by our boffins, was Dilwyn himself - none the worse for being squeezed down wires and into the ether before popping out the paper tray of our Betws Gwerfil Goch based fax machine.

History will record that Brian Little's glorious mud-spattered warriors tucked their chances away whilst the vanquished Bury lot didn't.

Barry suffers from a rare condition which means he can only drink odd numbers of pints of beer - prime numbers at that. Don't forget that mug you owe us..
