Wrexham’s star striker Rosie Hughes is back out in front in the Goalden Girl chart after her eight-minute hat-trick in last Sunday’s 5-0 demolition of Llandudno moved her up to 28 goals for the 2022-23 season.

Last season Rosie finished top of the goalscorers’ chart with 48 in all competitions and with still plenty of 2022-23 remaining, she could be on course to beat that figure.

Stevie Donoghue of Bangor 1876 and Connah’s Quay Nomads’ ever-consistent Kirstie Kural are joint second with 26 goals apiece, while Sade Benjamin of NFA has hit the 20-mark for the campaign.
