Trophy win in pictures

Captain Darren Ferguson sealed victory with a strike in the dying moments after Spaniard Juan Ugarte had broken the deadlock for Wrexham.

The match was watched live by 36,000 fans at the stadium in Cardiff.

Southend players had to make do with the runner's up medals for the second year running.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was present in the crowd to see his son Darren score Wrexham's second goal.

The result is a welcome boost for crisis-ridden Wrexham, which is in administration and facing relegation from League One.

The club should made between �200,000 and �500,000 from the cup final.

I was just so proud to be Wrexham and to be Welsh and I'm just ecstatic Wayne Price, right

One fan who had made more effort than most to get to the game was "jubilant" at his team's success.

Wayne Price, who along with his friend Stuart Smith walked the 150 miles from Wrexham to Cardiff ahead of the game to raise money for the club and Wrexham hospice Nightingale House, had real hopes the victory would give the club a big boost.

"In some ways it means the survival of Wrexham is more likely. It make the club a more attractive prospect to buyers.

"It will help in meeting debt. It's put a lot of onus on other people like the council as well as putting pressure on [club owner Alex] Hamilton," he told BBC Wales' news website.

And the match itself? "I was just so proud to be Wrexham and to be Welsh and I'm just ecstatic - I'm so happy.

"The long walk was worth it, for Nightingale House and the club and the amount of exposure it gave the club," said Mr Price.

However he added: "I don't want to do it again!"
