Holywell sign history-making striker

Zoe Stopford has joined Holywell FC Girls and Ladies

Holywell FC Girls and Ladies have made an exciting new signing on the eve of tonight’s friendly against Llysfaen Lionesses (7 pm kick-off, Daisy Pitch, Llysfaen, LL29 8SS).

Former Rhyl FC Ladies striker Zoe Stopford has joined the Wellwomen.

Zoe is down in history as the first player to score a goal for Rhyl and Prestatyn in the Women’s Welsh Premier League.

She grabbed the winner in a 1-0 victory at Aberystwyth on the opening day of the 2014-15 season.

The former Prestatyn Girls forward moved away to study at Edge Hill University but returned to Rhyl for the 2018-19 campaign and notched her share of goals.

Zoe was also part of the Prestatyn Girls team which reached the 2011-12 Welsh Cup semi-finals.

She also scored for Rhyl in their last victory over arch-rivals Llandudno – a 3-2 Welsh Premier League Cup success in 2018-19.

Holywell formed in 2019-20 and hope to build on their progress in the 2021-22 North Wales League season.

Stop! In the name of goals
Go out and break their hearrrrrrts
