Wrexham continued their preparations for the new Conference Premier season with victory over League One Tranmere Rovers.

Brett Ormerod opened Wrexham's account on 68 minutes, scoring from close range after Jason Mooney could only parry the ball following Bradley Reid's header.

Neil Ashton sealed victory from the penalty spot in the final minute.

Ex-Wales midfielder Jason Koumas came off the bench for Tranmere in the second half.

The 33-year-old Wrexham-born player, who has been without a club since leaving Wigan in 2011, has been training with former club Tranmere during pre-season.

Tranmere also handed a trial to former Tottenham defender Pascal Chimbonda, who had been scheduled to play for Colwyn Bay in a friendly against a Chelsea XI before opting to line out for Rovers instead.

The 34-year-old former France full-back, who recently played a game for Market Drayton, has not had a club in over a year since leaving Doncaster.
