There is a very familiar look to the higher echelons of the early 2022-23 North Wales Women’s Football Goalden Girls table.

Last season’s 48-goal wonder Rosie Hughes of Wrexham leads the way in the current campaign on 9, while Connah’s Quay Nomads midfielder Kirstie Kural is just one behind her.

Mari Gibbard of Llandudno and NFA net-buster Sade Benjamin are firing on all cylinders with seven goals apiece.
