Overview

The final of the 2013 FA Trophy played between Wrexham and Grimsby Town ended with Wrexham winning 4–1 in a penalty shoot-out after the teams had drawn in the normal time of 90 minutes. Grimsby Town led over Wrexham with a solitary goal scored by Andy Cook in the 71st minute, but Wrexham equalised as captain Keates was fouled inside the box and Kevin Thornton scored the resulting penalty spot-kick.
