Grassroots North Wales published a birthday feature on her last year, but we never let a chance of highlighting our superstars pass by, so here are 10 Fabulous Ffion Facts.

One

Ffion has scored a total of 47 goals for Bethel in just over 30 games across the past three seasons.
She netted 16 in 2017-18, 20 in 2018-19 and 11 in the shortened 2019-20 campaign. Her overall tally is well over 50 as she was with the club before 2017-18.

Caernarfon celebrated a quadruple that season.

Anglesey-based Ffion, a former pupil of Ysgol David Hughes, Menai Bridge, is a firefighter for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
