Keates Hails Wrexham Fans After Win Abroad

Dean Keates' side made it three from three in their warm-up games ahead of the new season.

Following victories over Lex Glyndwr and Cefn Druids, Wrexham flew out to Portugal on Sunday for a four-day warm weather training camp.

And last night they took on Louletano DC, who play in the third tier of the Portuguese national league.

Mequita's goal for the locals just behind half-time was a difficult pill to swallow for Wrexham after hitting the woodwork three times. But Keates' men fought back, and Natumba Massanka and Leo Smith ensured a well-deserved win.

"It's been a good trip, we've got exactly everything out of it that we wanted," Keates told the club's website. "The lads have bonded and got to know each other, and we asked them to win a football and they did that.

"The heat was frightening but they worked for every minute of the 90.

"The players know, and it will get drilled into them, what this football club and the fans are all about. They've seen it here and at training where over 150 came and then there's 600 fans at the game.

"There needs to be a bond with the fans, we're owned by them. The changing room door is always open to them."
