WREXHAM striker Marc Williams, whose Racecourse winner on Saturday ended a run of four league defeats for the Dragons, said his delight was secondary to the importance of the three points gained.

The Racecourse victory over Lincoln City was Wrexham’s first since the second match of the season and the 19-year-old, who opened his campaign account at Stockport County last weekend, admitted he might have doubled his tally.

“I was pleased to score but the most important thing was the win and the three points today,” he said afterwards.

“I thought it was a good team performance so the goal meant a lot to me today.

“I scored last week as well, but we lost the game so this was a much happier occasion.

“But I could have had three or four and in the end we were hanging on, so I could have made it easier. Hopefully that will come, but at least I was in the right place to get the chances.”

The goals could not have come at a better time for Williams with Wales under-21 manager Brian Flynn due to name his squad next week for a Uefa Championship qualifier against Malta at the Racecourse on October 17.

Williams missed last month’s international against France after being sent off in the previous game with Israel and his performance against Lincoln must have impressed watching Wales coach Dean Saunders.

“Hopefully I’ll be back because I was suspended for the game against France,” added Williams.

“But they have a good squad at the moment and if I’m not included this time I won’t be too worried as long as I’m doing the job for Wrexham.

“If Brian picks me that would be great but otherwise I’ll work hard here and wait my time. I broke into the squad early and got a couple of goals before being sent off, which was disappointing.

“That’s hampered my under-21 progress but if I can keep scoring I’m sure Brian will come and have a look at me.”

Wrexham manager Brian Carey, delighted with the win, praised Williams, who with Robbie Garrett, Neil Taylor and Michael Carvill comprised the four teenagers in his starting line-up.

“We have a lot of talented youngsters here coming through,” said the Dragons boss.

“They are all capable players and they did very well today, but what you can’t expect is for that to carry on for 46 games.

“The blend of youth and experience in the team helps and it’s good for the club that we have players of that age coming in and doing the job.”

And Carey, who saw club captain Neil Roberts miss a first-half penalty, added: “It was a much-needed win and I was pleased with the way we played.

“But the most important thing was the result today.

“Marc’s was a good goal and I thought our front two caused them a lot of problems today.

“I didn’t worry too much when the penalty didn’t go in because I knew we would just keep going and continue to believe in what we were doing. That’s what we are like now.

“We had our setbacks but we stuck to the game plan and what we wanted to. There were 11 performances out there.”
