Match Report


Wrexham opened the regular season with a trip to Bolton to face a Great Lever side boasting several new signings after the loss of Green and Hodgetts during the summer break. Chief amongst the new faces was former Walsall Town and Staffordshire centre forward Bradbury, who had impressed when scoring against the Leverites the previous February, whilst Mac Holden and ‘Tot’ Rostron had joined from neighbours Darwen.
