Meet the record-breakers in waiting – wonderful Wrexham!

🎶🎵🎵🎶 Record Breakerrrrrr!
If you’re the tallest, the smallest, if you beat them all,
If you’re the fattest, the thinnest, if you always win,
If you’re the fastest, the slowest, if you really go,
Then you’re a record breaker, a record maker,
you’re a record breakerrrrrrrrrr 🎶🎵🎵🎶

Ah if only the great of Roy Castle could be there himself to sing the famous theme tune at the Racecourse Ground on March 26.

However, the Queens of the Castle will be very much in attendance when Genero Adran North champions Wrexham AFC Women host their very own version of Record Breakers at the home of the Dragons a week on Sunday.

Today the club confirmed Wrexham’s match against Connah’s Quay Nomads on March 26 will take place in front of a record Welsh league crowd, with ticket sales having now smashed the 5,175 mark.

Tickets are still available for the match, which will see both the women’s first team and the Wrexham AFC Women Under-19s presented with their respective league titles.

The Genero Adran North fixture sees champions Wrexham look to complete a perfect league record – having won 11 matches from 11 so far.

Standing in their way are second-placed Connah’s Quay Nomads, in what promises to be a showcase of the best of North Walian women’s football.

And the occasion will fittingly be marked by a record crowd– with ticket sales have now gone beyond Cardiff City Women’s mark of 5,175, set earlier this season against Abergavenny.

The attendance will not only be the highest for a domestic women’s game in Wales, it will also be the highest crowd ever for an FAW-managed league game in the country – men or women.

And with more tickets being released, Wrexham are looking to ensure we set a huge new record crowd for the game with a party atmosphere promised at the Racecourse Ground.

Sunday, March 26, kick-off 2 pm. It promises to be a day never to be forgotten.

Grassroots North Wales view…..

It has been a fantastic effort from Gemma Owen and her team to guarantee a record-breaking crowd for a Welsh league game in such a short space of time.

These are the type of things North Wales women’s football need – successful ventures to raise its profile.

Wrexham are more than worthy champions of the Genero Adran North. They have been top class this season.

Now let’s hope the job is completed, and that they gain the necessary licence and win the play-off against the Genero Adran South champions to reach the tier 1 Genero Adran Premier.

When I started covering women’s football in earnest in 2012, Wrexham were the top women’s team in North Wales, played in the Welsh Premier, and always gave the Cardiff’s and the Swansea’s a good run for their money – finishing third one season.

It would be great to see them do that again. The chances look good, especially in view of the quality of the current squad and the fact they are turning semi-pro if promoted.

Of course, with her 41 goals this term on top of the 48 she amassed last season, Rosie Hughes is the star attraction, but in the games I have seen Wrexham play in the past two campaigns, there is plenty of other talent on show, such as Amber Lightfoot, Lili Jones and Rebecca Pritchard to name just three.

As for March 26, people should not forget TWO teams will be on the pitch that day.

Connah’s Quay Nomads have had a really good season, in fact they have been on the up since forming in 2019-20. If Wrexham are promoted, Nomads will surely have a major chance of landing the 2023-24 Genero Adran North title.

Like Wrexham, the Quay have some fantastic young players in the ranks such as Elana Harley and Sienna Strapp, while the more experienced operators like Kirstie Kural and Tamara Hamer have plenty of mileage left in them.

Nomads would love to upset the form book on March 26 and get a big result. They have beaten Wrexham once this season in a cup and only lost to them at home 3-1 in the league due to a pair of very late goals from the Dragons.

Quay will be inspired by the big crowd and may well have a good following there themselves.

This end-of-season showpiece is just what North Wales women’s football needs. Let’s hope both on the Racecourse pitch a week on Sunday will continue to flourish.

Those South Walians have had it their own way for far too long.
