I can't speak highly enough of them all.'
George Peers, Josh Stevenson, Sam Baker and Ieuan Jones-Wellstead shared the goals to make sure of the trophy treble for Airbus.
Corwen lifted the North East Wales Reserves' Cup courtesy of a 2-1 outcome against Mynydd Isa and FC Queen's Park pipped Rhostyllen 1-0 to lift the Horace Wynne Cup.

Ryan Reynolds turns up on Sky Sports live, mocks Wrexham pundit and reveals gift
Ryan Reynolds turns up on Sky Sports live, mocks Wrexham pundit and reveals gift Ryan Reynolds was in Wrexham for the club's first home game in the Championship Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds spoke to Sky ahead of their second Championship match. (Image: Sky Sports) Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were interviewed on live TV ahead of Wrexham's second Championship match against West Bromwich Albion. Reynolds took the opportunity to poke fun at a studio pundit he knew well and revealed a 'gift' he has been given. Wrexham were home at the Racecourse Stadium on Saturday lunchtime in their first Championship home match of the 2025/2026 season. After three successive promotions, which were recently praised by Wales legend Gareth Bale, the next big step for the north Walian club is to gain promotion to the Premier League. Coming off the back of a penalty shoot-out victory over Hull City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, Wrexham welcomed Midlands opposition West Brom to Wales and their owners were on hand to provide their thoughts. Former Wrexham defender Ben Tozer, who was with the club between 2021 and 2024, was part of the Sky Sports punditry team and was tasked with asking a question to his former work colleagues. "Hi Ryan, you alright? Is that Rob with you?," asked Tozer. "Is that Tozer?!," asked Reynolds. "You look shorter on TV," joked McElhenney. "Yeah, you do, you look tiny," added Reynolds. Article continues below "I've got Rob Mac here, I don't need anyone but Rob Mac for the rest of my life. I'll say that right now, Tozer. And you know it." "Tozer asked: Who have you brought with you that's famous? Because that's what you tend to do." "My kids are here, that's about it," said McElhenney. "That's about it," added Reynolds. "Shall we see if we can get Will Ferrell? Hugh (Jackman) is a fan of Norwich (disgusted face)." Content cannot be displayed without consent Reynolds went on to iterate that "we don't make football decisions" when asked about the management style of the owners and Phil Parkinson. "The great gift of that is to be able to have relationships with the players at Wrexham whereas most people in our position can't," answered Reynolds. "We have a relationship with every single one of our players. Not Tozer, of course, but everyone since him, for sure." McElhenney added: "It's interesting to get accolades when you hear people say: 'You guys have done a pretty good job for the club', and the truth is - we don't really have anything to do with what happens out on the pitch. "We've just got our very specific job, which is to be clowns and tell the story as best we can, but to be as respectful as we possibly can to what Phil does on the pitch. Article continues below "We just get to sit back, be fans and document the process." Next week, Wrexham face Sheffield Wednesday for another home fixture.

When Louise Prashad was diagnosed with a rare pregnancy-related condition, there was only a small chance she would years later, she will represent Team GB on the athletics world stage after receiving a successful organ transplant. Louise, from Easingwold in North Yorkshire, is due to compete at the World Transplant Games in Germany next week, where she is aiming for a gold medal in shot 32-year-old said: "I want to show my donor's family that it wasn't all in vain." At just 22 years old and 37 weeks pregnant with twins, her liver went into was then placed into an induced coma at St James's Hospital in Leeds."I woke up to the knowledge that my son and daughter had passed away at full term and that I'd had an organ transplant," Louise said."I really struggled with the grief but knowing that I had somebody else's organ and somebody else's life, really spurred me on to want to live every day like it's the last." Ten years on, Louise has married, graduated with a law degree and has two children."I think if I hadn't had the transplant I'd really have struggled to get out of the dark hole that I was in," she admitted."I'm living for more than me, I'm living for my donor and her family who I met this year, I'm living for the children I've had since and I really want to make the world proud and showcase what can be achieved."The organ recipient has spent almost 10 years conquering ultramarathons, raising more than £350,000 for liver-related charities and giving more than 600 talks about organ donation. Despite not always being sporty, Louise also began training in track and field. For the past three years, she has competed in the British Transplant Games in events such as shot put, javelin, discus, long jump and ball throw, picking up several gold medals. However, it will be the athlete's first time going to the World Transplant Games. "Shot put is my main focus for the World Games, hoping to bring back a gold," she said."It is very competitive, there are some amazing throwers from all different countries this year but I'm quietly confident. "I've been training with my coach Paul Wilson for well over a year now and I hit a PB this weekend."Louise said she owed her success to the woman who donated her liver and whose family she has since met. "I walked into a room and we just hugged and had an instant connection. I felt like I was meeting part of a long-lost family," she said."My donor saved nine people and her husband saved nine people, that's 18 people's lives that wouldn't have carried on without organ donation."She was only 52 years old and I feel a duty to keep on living for her because she gave this gift of life in her final hours. I feel like I need to honour that."Despite there being an opt-out system for organ donation, Louise said it was still important to discuss wishes with family."Your family has the final say so you need to have that conversation to leave your family sure about your decision otherwise your organs may not be donated," she added.

There's usually an incident that goes overlooked that leads to something like that," he said in his postgame remarks. "(Allen) clearly got elbowed in the face right in front of the ref and it wasn't called. Then other things ensued. It's unfortunate for us. Two players that play high-quality, high-valuable minutes for us." Following the matchup, Sky forward Angel Reese posted, "ARIEL A REAL ONE. BEEN."
