With the first team without a game on the opening day of the season, the Reserves travel to Hawarden to commence their campaign (KO 2-30pm).

Having completed a League & Cup double last season, they now face life in a higher Division, the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Reserves Division. Manager Kev Thomas gave us his thoughts on the eve of the new season.
"We start the new season with a young and exiting team. Many of last season's older players have left for pastures new, so I will bring in the young players we have at the club. There is added competition in the goalkeeping department as 'Moley' has returned to us from Saltney, and with Ollie Howarth still on board that will make us particularly strong in this area. I have really high hopes for a few of the 16 year olds who've signed on. I think you will hear me mentioning players like Sam Morris and Iwan Rogers on a regular basis as we go through the season. The youngsters I brought in last year will be older and wiser this time around, and will want to carry on from where they left off. We have also still got the services of older heads in the form of Jamie Hayes and Lee Beck and will no doubt have the benefit of a few of the 1st team squad throughout the season. If this current crop of youngsters develop like last year's and follow the example of Ryan Coney and Tom Burrows, then I can't see why we shouldn't have yet another successful season."
