WREXHAM are one game away from another Wembley final after continuing the brilliant winning run - and Steve Parkin was delighted to get "a little bit of revenge" on Notts County.

Phil Parkinson's side progressed to the FA Trophy semi-finals after beating Notts County 2-1 following an entertaining tie at Meadow Lane.

It was the seventh victory in a row which keeps Wrexham chasing success on two fronts, with the third placed Reds only six points behind National League leaders Stockport County with 13 games to go in the quest for promotion after hitting a rich vein of form.

Friday was all about taking another step closer to reaching the final of a competition Wrexham famously won in 2013 on the club's first ever Wembley appearance.

Wrexham, not for the first time this season, had to come from behind to clinch victory with Dan Jarvis equalising just before the break and James Jones bagging an 89th minute winner.

The last visit to Meadow Lane in the league on January 2 ended in a 3-1 defeat, Wrexham taking an early lead before Harry Lennon was sent off - one of a number of decisions that the Reds' management team was unhappy with.

Assistant boss Parkin, without Rob Lainton, Reece Hall-Johnson and in-form strike duo Paul Mullin and Oli Palmer who were rested, was pleased to avenge that loss and advance to the last four.

"We are delighted," said Parkin. "The lads played against a really good team with some really good attacking players.

"They made changes, we made changes, but it didn't deter from it being a really good, exciting game.

"It was nice to get a result because we were on the end of a bitterly disappointing defeat over the holiday period when we lost Harry (Lennon) in the early part which affected the game.

"It was a little bit of revenge but I thought the lads deserved it, they did really well."

The Magpies were building a head of steam and the goal they had been threatening came in the 30th minute as two centre-backs combined.

Adam Chicksen sent in a cross and Connor Rawlinson headed past Christian Dibble to make it 1-0.

Parkin felt it was a goal that could have been avoided.

"We pride ourselves, and we have done all season, on stopping crosses and no free headers in our box," said Parkin.

"Whilst I think it was a very good goal, we will have to have a look at how easy it was for him to score.

"Obviously he continued his run from bringing it through the middle of the pitch from centre-back, it was a disappointing goal but we bounced back in style.

"The one thing about this group at the moment, and certainly most of the season, is that they never know when they are beat. They proved that and showed that."

Wrexham equalised two minutes before the break.

Jones' cross deflected off Chicksen into the path of Jarvis, one of the players recalled to the side, and the midfielder smashed the ball home from inside the area.

Parkin admits it was the ideal time to score.

"It was massive, really important," said Parkin.

"You could see that it definitely had an affect on the Notts County boys walking off at half-time, and it gave our lads a spring in their step.

"It was a super finish, a super move, and I think when we played enough football to get overloads out wide, and two-v-ones out wide, then we looked dangerous.

"I am really pleased for Jarv; he is a great lad, he trains hard, he has waited his turn to get back in the team and he scored a great goal."

Wrexham made a lively start to the second half and got into some good positions without creating any clear cut chances.

The Magpies came more into the game and Ed Francis' rocket shot from outside the area but brilliantly tipped onto the crossbar by Dibble.

The game hung in the balance, and was heading for a penalty shoot-out, but Wrexham scored the winner with a minute to go.

Jones played a one-two with substitute Hall-Johnson and fired past Sam Slocombe from inside the area to put Wrexham in the last four of the competition.

Parkin acknowledged the importance of Dibble's save before his side found the back of the net.

"It was the reaction from Dibbs' save when he tipped that one onto the bar," said Parkin.

"It was an amazing save and I am really pleased for him; he has been patient, he trains properly and he is always ready and raring to go if Rob is not fit.

"Then within a blink of an eye we put a lovely move together, and up James pops.

"James is tremendously fit, he can get box-to-box all day long and I think that he gets stronger as the game goes on.

"It was delightful to see him score the goal."

The goal couldn't have come at a better time and Parkin felt it was a deserved win.

"It is similar to the goal in the first half, it is a great time to score," he added.

"We have had it done to us, it knocks the stuffing out of you when you concede a late goal.

"On balance they had some good attacking moments, the save onto the bar, but in general we probably just about deserved it."
