One of the best 16-year-olds playing in Wales is Catrin Evans (No11 above). In senior football, she has already scored 24 goals in less than 20 appearances. She also netted in the 2019 Inter-Island Games Cup Final for Anglesey against Isle of Man. Catrin more than deserves international recognition for Wales.
