Here’s 10 women’s football stars Grassroots North Wales really enjoyed reporting on in 2025….
Special thank you for the help we received with this feature….a guardian angel looked after us ❤
RHIAN EDWARDS (CPDM Henllan)
Magnificent goalkeeper for Henllan throughout the year, a tremendous shot-stopper whose brilliance has saved her side from some heavier defeats.
Has made 16 appearances in 2025 and been on the winning side on seven occasions.
A more experienced head in a largely very young squad.
JEN SMALL (Kinmel Bay)
Centre-back who has been rock solid in a Kinmel Bay side which has enjoyed such a good year.
Has featured in 22 games for the Morfa team and been a winner on 16 occasions.
Named Club Person of the Season 2024-25 for the ladies.
CARLA RIZZI (Denbigh Town)
Assistant-manager with bags of experience, she has put in numerous top-class shifts in defence throughout the year.
Has made 20 appearances in 2025 for a Denbigh outfit which has won half of those games. Great club servant.
NATASHA STANDING (Kinmel Bay)
Central defensive midfielder who has scored some great goals, supplied plenty of assists and netted straight from a corner.
She is an absolute trooper and gives everything on and off the pitch.
Tasha has participated in 21 matches this year, scored four goals, delivered eight assists and helped Kinmel Bay land the Betty Pickering Shield in April.
Was 2024-25 joint Managers’ Player of the Season. Fan-tash-tic.
LLYWELA EDWARDS (CPDM Y Felinheli)
Brilliant year for this left-sided attacker with a distinct eye for goal.
The highlight was scoring a hat-trick for Felinheli in a 3-2 win at Adran North champions Connah’s Quay Nomads in the Adran Trophy in October.
During 2025, Llywela chalked up 10 goals in 19 appearances for the Tier 2 Cae Seilo side, also providing several assists.
RUBY McGILLOWAY (Flint Town United)
Inspirational captain who has stood out for Flint not just in her usual midfield role, but also at the back when required.
Made 18 appearances for the Silkwomen during 2025, and on the winning side eight times in the highly competitive Adran North.
In the midfield, her industry, strength and determination makes her a standout performer alongside the likes of Rosie Hughes and Becca Eagles.
HANA WELLINGS (CPDM Llanystumdwy)
After two seasons at CPDM Y Felinheli, midfield dynamo Hana rejoined Llanystumdwy this term and has shone brightly for a team which continues to grow from strength to strength in Tier 3.
Had a great second-half of the 2024-25 season with Felin, being on the losing side just twice in 11 matches and winning the NEWFA Challenge Cup, beating Pwllheli in the final.
Has played in 12 matches for Llanystumdwy since September, scoring two goals.
She is a force to be reckoned with, strong and encouraging for all girls on her team.
FREYA DAVIES (Trearddur Bay)
Captain of Tier 3 side Trearddur Bay, this 28-year-old battler made 20 appearances for the Anglesey team in 2025, scoring four times.
A good, skillful player, she is strong, doesn’t give up easily and keeps the team motivated.
AMBER BROWN (Llangefni Town)
Who else? Dazzling 18-year-old front player is the latest in a line of Llangefni forwards who cannot stop finding the net!
Since the turn of the year, Amber has notched 18 goals in 23 appearances for Cefni, helping them storm to the top of the North Wales Coast Women’s League.
This season, she has been unstoppable having banged in 17 goals in 12 games since September 2025.
STACEY SANSOME (CPD Pwllheli)
Has been a Pwllheli player for many years but her consistency levels never drop.
Renowned for her powerful shots, Stacey has pocketed six goals in 25 games during 2025, helping the Llŷn Peninsula team win back-to-back North Wales League titles and the Betty Pickering Cup.
