Earlier in the season, we chose 15 players to watch in North Wales senior women’s football during 2024-25.

Let’s check on our selections……

1 Taylia Chaloner (Flint Town United)

One of the most consistent players I’ve seen all season.
Has played in every one of Flint’s 18 matches and recently reached 50 appearances for the club.
Attacking right-back whose reputation has grown massively in tier 2.

2 Rosie O’Brien (CPD Y Rhyl 1879)

A true star of Rhyl’s season, a super-charged left-back/left-winger who represents everything positive about the Lilywhites.
Again, I have not seen a better or more consistent performer in an 1879 shirt this season.

3 Natasha Spearing (Connah’s Quay Nomads)

Summer signing from Wrexham has been a key player in Nomads’ fantastic Genero Adran North title success comprising 13 straight wins.
One of a number of quality new faces Jordan Parry brought in before the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

4 Beth Roberts (CPD Merched Henllan)

What a star!
Has scored 46 goals in just 16 matches across all competitions in her first season as a senior.
This 16-year-old phenomenon has also banged in 37 goals in just 10 league appearances.
Part of the Ysgol Glan Clwyd team which recently won the Welsh Schools Under-18 Cup for a third time in four years.

5 Laura Pratt (Airbus UK Broughton)

Great season for this 17-year-old attacker who has knocked in 22 goals in just 15 appearances for Airbus.
She grabbed seven goals in a single game against Welshpool and has found the net 17 times in only seven league outings.

6 Catrin Roberts (CPDM Bangor)

Superb first season in senior football for this 16-year-old keeper who has made 21 appearances for Bangor.
A Wales Under-16 international who represented the FAW Girls Academy North squad last season, Catrin has been selected for the 2025 Ynys Môn Island Games squad.

7 Ruby Hastings (Flint Town United)

Another of Flint’s shining lights in their first season at Genero Adran North level.
Right-winger with pace to burn, she scores goals – often spectacular – provides assists and, as her team-mate Jennifer Haynes rightly says ‘always looks distinguished and elegant in all her action photos’.
Seven goals in 17 appearances.

8 Amy Chesters (Kinmel Bay)

No praise could be high enough for one of North Wales women’s football’s massive success stories this season.
Amy has scored a fantastic 21 goals for Kinmel Bay, her finishing ability proving second to none.

9 Llywela Edwards (CPDM Y Felinheli)

Nine goals in 19 appearances in her debut season for Felinheli. but nothing can match her long range rocket against Llandudno.
Joined at the start of the campaign having previously represented Taffs Well, Cardiff Wanderers and Corwen. A left-sided livewire.

10 Amber Brown (Llangefni Town)

Quality young attacking player who joined Llangefni from Caernarfon Town last December.
Has shown plenty of promise for Cefni, where she is in contention to win silverware in her first season.
Has played 15 matches in all this term, netting six goals.

11 Jess Woods (Trearddur Bay)

Eleven goals in just seven games for Trearddur Bay this season says it all.
Would have seen more action but for a fixtures backlog affecting the Anglesey side.
Jess has been a huge influence in Trearddur’s best season yet.

12 Isabella Nardo (Northop Hall)

Young defender has made 12 appearances for North Wales Women’s League East Division side Hall this season.
At just 18, she is developing nicely into a strong performer in the back line.

13 Abi Cooke (Denbigh Town)

Ever-improving young defender who has made 12 appearances for Denbigh this season but has not featured since late January.

14 Annest Roberts (CPDM Llanystumdwy)

Seventeen-year-old midfielder who has established herself nicely in a Llanystumdwy team which has improved beyond all recognition this season.
Definitely one for the future, highly regarded at the club.

15 Katie Spruce (Llangefni Town)

Well placed to win a league title in her first season with Llangefni.
Tremendous keeper who has featured in 21 games for the Anglesey side so far and has proved an excellent signing.
