Let’s check out the progress of the 2023-24 Dynamic Dozen

Tom Weir joined Prestatyn Town from Denbigh Town in January

We selected 12 North Wales football players from all levels of the pyramid to watch at the start of the season.

Seven months into the 2023-24 campaign, how are they all performing?

Let’s assess their progress…..

Callum Queen (Holyhead Town)

Town started the season well then went through a barren spell of 12 losses in 13 games before a recent upsurge in form.

Throughout the campaign, 17-year-old Callum Queen has performed very solidly, scoring 11 goals in 21 games. One to watch in the future for sure.

Tomos Clarke (Bangor 1876)

Captain and commanding centre-half who has featured in 25 matches for 1876 in the current season, finding the net three times.

Clarke has played in 20 of Bangor’s 25 fixtures in their debut campaign in Tier 2 Cymru North, where they have become established in the top six. Defensively, 1876 have found the going tricky on occasion.

Tom Weir (Prestatyn Town)

Dazzling talent who moved to Prestatyn Town in January and has scored twice in nine games for the Seasiders so far.

Started the season with Denbigh Town, where he featured in 22 matches, bagging seven goals.

Has proved his worth at a Tier 2 player.

Antonio Jacovelli (NFA)

Really good first season with NFA, scoring 18 times in 24 matches, carrying on his great goals record at previous clubs.

If NFA are to feature in the prizes at the end of the season, it is likely Jacovelli will have a major role to play.

Sam Gregson (Holyhead Hotspur)

Has played in just five games for Hotspur this season, including two FAW Amateur Trophy wins.

Gregson has recently returned to America to play for the New York State side Buffalo Bengals, having previously enjoyed great success with Onondaga University.

Calyn Spencer (Flint Mountain)

Was an important part of Flint Mountain’s magnificent run to the Welsh Cup quarter-finals this season.

Lively and creative, Calyn has played in 23 first team games for Aden Shannon’s side, scoring four goals. So many more good things are expected.

Adam Hold (Conwy Borough)

Scored eight goals in 20 outings for Rhyl 1879 before switching to Conwy Borough in February in pursuit of more game time.

Produced a lot of good displays for 1879 on the left, specialising in accurate crossing and quality from dead-ball situations. Was something of a surprise when he moved on.

Morgan Jones (Pwllheli)

Virtual ever-present for a Pwllheli side he joined at the start of the season and has appeared for 28 times in all competitions.

Renowned for making some fantastic saves over the campaign.

Osian Jones (Llangefni Town)

Good season so far for Jones in the midfield for Tier 3 Llangefni, scoring four times in 19 Ardal North West appearances, including the equaliser against Holyhead in midweek.

Has proved a good signing for the Anglesey side since joining in the summer from CPD Mynydd Llandegai.

Kallum Pierce (CPD Gronant)

With 25 goals in 24 appearances, including 19 in 16 games in the North East Wales League Championship Division with leaders Gronant, Pierce has proved a great capture for Sandy Malone.

His tally includes a five, four and three-goal haul.

Chris Smyth (Mochdre Sports)

Performances have been limited due to injury, but when he has played he’s produced the goods with seven goals in 12 outings for Mochdre.

Bagged a hat-trick against Bro Cernyw in November and also turns out for the Mochdre Vets side.

Luis Hughes (Cefn Albion)

Eighteen-year-old defender has mainly featured for the reserves. but he has come on twice for the first team in winning situations against Welshpool and Llansantffraid.

Scored for the reserves in a 5-2 victory over Pwllheli in September.
