Reserves 3 - 5 Preston

Wrexham led twice but in the end were blown away by a three goal salvo in 5 second half minutes.

Wes Baynes, Juan Ugarte and Andy Fleming scored for Wrexham. Neil Mellor (2), Brett Omeroyd (2) and Simon Whalley scored the goals for PNE.

"It was the equivalent of footballing suicide," said Jones afterwards.

"You can't make the mistakes we did, and not expect the players of the quality of Brett Ormerod and Neil Mellor to take advantage."
