Predictions Panel 2023-24: Who leads the pundits table?

Corby still leads the way, but Gethin is hot on his heels and Sion W is right in the mix too!

At the start of the 2023-24 season, we asked a panel of nine North Wales football enthusiasts where they thought the major prizes could end up across tiers 2-5 this term.

For each league we asked:

Which team do you think will finish up champions of their respective leagues/divisions?

With the season reaching the business end, NWCFA councillor Chris O’Neal still leads the way, but Porthmadog midfielder Gethin Thomas is running him close.
