WREXHAM'S scheduled mini-derby against Chester City reserves last night was called off due to a waterlogged pitch at the Deva Stadium.

The decision came as a blow to Dragons' captain Darren Ferguson who had asked to be involved in order to boost his match fitness, following his six-week absence due to injury.

Other members of Denis Smith's senior squad who had been pencilled in to play were goalkeeper Michael Jones, Levi Mackin, Alex Smith and Mike Williams.

No date has yet been fixed for the re-arranged game.
