Wrexham and Birmingham draw 1-1 in “Hollywood Derby” – New Castle News

Wrexham, Wales (AP) -Wrexham settled for a 1-1 draw with the Birmingham third division leader on Thursday in a match between two celebrity owners.

Wrexham is trying to win his third consecutive promotion under the property of actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McLekhni, but missed a chance to win Birmingham, who is proud of Tom Brady as a minority shareholder.

League 1 Birmingham leader extended his invincible series in all races to 15 games. The club leads Wycombe with three points and third place Wrexham with five points. The best two teams win automatic championship promotion, and the next four go into playoff for another promotion.

Oliver Rabbon curled up in the ninth minute of the racing playground. Birmingham leveled the score in the 18th, when Lindon Dix’s header ended up on the net.

The British media called the Hollywood derby game because of celebrity owners, but none of the star owners were present.

From Los Angeles McLuhni sent a video message to Sky Sports: “1-1, I’ll take it against Birmingham City. It was probably the best country we’ve played throughout the season. “
