WREXHAM AFC'S star owners have once again showed their class by donating £5,000 to a charity football match.

Club co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have shown generosity towards the community time after time.

From donating £10,000 each towards the Aria Hodgkiss fundraiser to handing over the same sum to the Sands charity, the pair have continuously displayed their generous streak.

Now, that trend has continued as they have donated £5,000 towards an upcoming charity football match that will take place in Wrexham.

Wrexham Police FC will be taking on FC United of Wrexham at Bronwen's Green on Saturday, July 1 (10.30am ko).

The money raised will be put towards the children's ward at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
