Was a record broken in North Wales senior football today for the most goals produced in the least amount of matches in a single division?


Probably not, but the 63 goals accumulated over six matches in the tier 5 North East Wales League Championship Division must be right up there with the largest aggregates.

These were the scores on Saturday, August 10, 2024 (would have loved to hear James Alexander Gordon read these out):

Acton 9 CPD Cei Connah 3
Deeside Dragons 0 Brymbo 13
Johnstown YFC 3 Broughton United 10
Rhydymwyn 12 Deeside United 1
Skippy 0 CPD Sychdyn United 6
CPD Yr Wyddgrug 5 Overton Recreation 1

Top net-finders on the day were Brymbo with 13 – with CPD Yr Wyddgrug the lowest-scoring winners, but still recording a very handy five goals.

Top individual scorers on the day:

Seb Kidd (Acton) 4
Kyle Wilkes (Rhydymwyn) 4
Sam Wall (Brymbo) 3
Ryan Davies (Rhydymwyn) 3
Joe Robins (CPD Sychdyn) 3

And there could have been a lot more goals had Bellevue versus Holywell United gone ahead!!

However, 63 goals in six games in the same division is plenty to be going on with – thanks for the entertainment all!

And a few words of consolation for the beaten teams – you didn’t sail your ship alone today. ❤
