Women’s football: Six from Rosie, but Lexi leads the Goals for Girls race

Lexi Crawley is the new outright leader in the North Wales women’s goalscorers table, but look who has leaped into joint second spot!

Rosie Hughes’ six goals for Denbigh Town in the weekend Welsh Cup win over Northop Hall put her on 10 in all competitions.

Having hit four in a previous appearance for Town this season, Rosie’s 10 goals have come in just two matches. She has been a prolific markswoman over a number of seasons, especially at Llandudno in the Welsh Premier.

Erin Maloney’s double for Bethel in a 2-0 Welsh Cup victory against Airbus put her joint fourth in the standings on seven goals.

Sarah Ellis of Llanfair is now one of five players on six goals after scoring in a 3-1 cup triumph over Amlwch.
