It is time for an update on who are the leading hitmen in North Wales senior football this season.

While Bangor 1876’s prolific front man Corrig McGonigle still leads the way on 45 goals, hot on his heels is Y Glannau net-buster Harrison Bellis, who banged in seven last weekend.

Keeping tabs on everyone can be quite a task, so if you know of anyone who should be in this list please let us know and we’ll amend accordingly – dave@nwsport.co.uk (minimum for a mention = 25 goals)

Corrig McGonigle (Bangor 1876) 45 GOALS
League: 28 Cups: 17 Appearances: 22

No let up from this amazing goal-getter who is already 1876’s all-time record scorer with 79 goals in 37 matches.

Corrig continues to average more than two goals a game this season and has banged in eight hat-tricks.

Harrison Bellis (CPD Y Glannau) 42 GOALS
League: 27 Cups: 15 Appearances: 18

No matter what tier you are playing in, 42 goals in 18 appearances is astonishing form.

The 21-year-old has bagged a seven, a six and a five this term for North Wales Coast East League Division One tier 5 outfit Y Glannau.

Asa Thomas (Trearddur Bay) 36 GOALS
League: 24 Cups: 12 Appearances: 21

Now on 618 career goals at the age of just 31, Asa continues to score for fun.

Currently top of the Bob Brodie Trophy table for the leading marksman on Anglesey, his 36 goals this term include six hat-tricks.

Sam Giles (Acton) 35 GOALS
League: 32 Cups: 3 Appearances: 15

Joined North East Wales League Championship side Acton from Llangollen Town this season and has been unstoppable ever since.

His haul in 2022-23 includes a seven-goal salvo, a five and two fours.

Conner Kendrick (Ruabon Rovers) 33 GOALS
League: 20 Cups: 13 Appearances: 18

One of the stars of a Ruabon outfit aiming high.

Conner has played at a much higher level in the past and his class has shown this term in the North East Wales League Championship.

Hit a stunning 21 goals in his first seven matches and his six hat-tricks included a six in one game.

Aaron Rogers (Llandudno Amateurs) 30 GOALS
League: 24 Cups: 6 Appearances: 20

Known as Azz, Rogers has been a tremendous success in an Amateurs shirt this term, forming a partnership with Joe Jones which has yielded more than 50 goals.

Azz has scored in each of his last 12 games and has put away six hat-tricks.

Connor Owen (Gwalchmai) 28 GOALS
League: 19 Cups: 9 Appearances: 20

What a prospect!

This 17-year-old has notched hat-tricks in each of his last three matches and has only failed to score in three of the 20 games he has featured in.

One of the true aces of the tier 4 North Wales Coast West Premier Division, he recently paired up with a legendary Anglesey goal machine – Marc “Logs” Evans – at Gwalchmai.

Andrew Swarbrick (Ruabon Rovers) 28 GOALS
League: 6 Cups: 22 Appearances: 20

The majority of his goals have come in cup matches, including seven at Johnstown.

Proven marksman at a level way above tier 5 having also starred for the likes of Cefn Druids and Denbigh Town in the past.

Kallum Pierce (Hawarden Rangers/Aston Park Rangers) 27 GOALS
League: 23 Cups: 4 Appearances: 18

Now testing his skills at a higher level having joined tier 3 Hawarden last month from Aston Park Rangers, where he pocketed four hat-tricks, three of them in August.

Scored on his debut for Hawarden in a 3-1 win at Rhostyllen.

Joe Jones (Llandudno Amateurs) 26 GOALS
League: 18 Cups: 8 Appearances: 19

Scored one of the most stunning hat-tricks imaginable in a recent win over Rhyl Dragons.

Joe’s weekend net-busting does not finish on a Saturday. He is also top-scorer in the Rhyl and District Sunday League with Conwy Comrades.

His up-front association with Azz Rogers has delivered 56 goals this term for the Amateurs.
