Genero Adran Premier: Rosie Hughes hits FIVE as Wrexham storm to top of table

GENERO ADRAN PREMIER

Barry Town United 1 (Attwood 88)
Wrexham 5 (R Hughes 7, 15, 19, 53, 67)

Five goals from the unstoppable Rosie Hughes lifted Wrexham to the top of the Genero Adran Premier table.

The newly-promoted North Wales side celebrated back-to-back away wins and are unbeaten in their first three matches.

Leading the way was Hughes, who has now netted five goals or more in a game for Wrexham SEVEN times since she joined the club in 2021-22.

Her biggest total in a single game was the nine she hit against former club Denbigh Town in November 2021. The five she bagged on Sunday made it seven goals in three matches this term.

Wrexham’s number nine opened the scoring after just seven minutes.

TJ Dickens whipped a free-kick from the right into the path of Hughes, who rose highest at the back post to head home at Jenner Park Stadium.

The 27-year-old from Colwyn Bay doubled the Red Dragons’ advantage in the 14th minute.

Rebecca Pritchard’s pin-point found Hughes, whose right foot effort was too good for Barry keeper Erin Brennan.

After 19 minutes Hughes had secured another match-ball for her collection as she netted from close range, Pritchard again with the assist.

Hughes made it four goals in the 53rd minute, as she made an excellent run before lifting the ball over the oncoming Brennan.

And the super striker bagged her fifth in the 66th minute, rounding Brennan from close-range to fire into an empty net.

Barry notched a late consolation goal through Lucy Attwood.

Wrexham: Charlotte Bolland, Phoebe Davies, Keren Allen, Louisha Doran (Katie Sharp 63), Erin Lovett (Carra Jones 60), TJ Dickens, Lili Jones (Lily Whitefoot 78), Amber Lightfoot, Mari Gibbard, Rebecca Pritchard, Rosie Hughes (Natasha Spearing 78).
