Football pities no one, not even the rich and beautiful from Sunset Boulevard. Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney know that now, having travelled the spectrum of football emotions at a more violent rate than any health practitioner would advise.
But even football mayhem needs a day off, or at the very least the rich and beautiful deserve some latitude in their mission to achieve the consummate happy ending to their inconceivable football fairy tale.
A segment of that elusive happy ending finally arrived on Sunday, this one via Wrexham Women. As Phil Parkinson and Paul Mullin continue their battle for escape out of National League purgatory, their female counterparts culminated an immaculate Invincibles season with promotion to the Welsh women’s top flight, the Adran Premier, in a 1-0 promotion play-off victory over Adran South champions Briton Ferry.
