    It may only be a pre-season football friendly, but the Wellington Phoenix men are determined to do well against Wrexham in the capital today

    It may only be a pre-season football friendly, but the Wellington Phoenix men are determined to do well against Wrexham in the capital today


    The Nix have only been back training for a couple of weeks ... and will be fielding a young side shorn of several of their senior stars, through injury.

    But goalkeeper Josh Oluwayemi says the high-profile nature of the Welsh club - who boast a Hollywood ownership group including movie star Ryan Reynolds - means his hosts will be right up for it.



    Kickoff's at 5pm.
