It’s been a while, but here we are with the latest news on the unofficial Anglesey golden boot competition.

The 12th season of the Bob Brodie Trophy is in full swing and there is a familiar name heading the leaderboard.

Last season’s Trophy winner, Asa Thomas of Trearddur Bay, is on 24 goals for the 2023-24 campaign following his quadruple in a 6-4 win over Llanrug United last weekend.

Named after a well-known footballer and manager from Holyhead via Glasgow who sadly passed away in 2011, the Bob Brodie rewards the leading netfinder on Ynys Môn every season.
