No TST glory for Wrexham Red Dragons in North Carolina
After finishing second in their group, Wrexham took on Drip FC in the first stage of the knockout portion.
Despite goals from Marc Albrighton and Aaron James, Wrexham lost out 6-2.
Wrexham had lost their final group game 3-1 to Pat McAfee's CONCAFA SC. The Dragons, who had beaten Como and Despemendidos in their previous games to make sure of a top-two group finish, had ex-Reds striker Jake Hyde again on the scoresheet.
Wrexham Red Dragons' women's side lost all three of their group encounters.
Against Ultrain FC, they got off to a flying start only to suffer in Target Score Time as the opposition staged a stunning comeback to win 5-4.
In the women's opener, amid extremely heavy rain at Wakemed Soccer Park, former Canada international Lindsay Agnew put Wrexham ahead before Nicole Baxter and Havana Solaun (2) scored to ensure Wrexham Red Dragons entered Target Score Time with a healthy lead.
Needing one goal to win, while Ultrain had to hit five – with one player removed from each team every three minutes – but Wrexham couldn't see it out as the opposition sneaked a 5-4 victory.
Drunken Monkeys prevailed 5-0 in the next match-up and Wrexham ended their programme with a 6-3 loss to Kansas City II.
