ELLA JONES (Connah’s Quay Nomads) – 32 games
Born: 10-6-2004. Age when scored 50th goal: 20 years 125 days

Senior debut: Sep 5, 2021. Netted on debut in 4-1 win for Llandudno at Llanfair United. Bagged 22 goals in 11 appearances in her first season before suffering a serious injury in November 2021.

After several months on the sidelines, having to watch on as Tudno won the Adran North title, Ella also missed the entire 2022-23 campaign before finally returning for the Seasiders’ first team on November 5, 2023.

She scored 14 goals in 13 outings before the end of 2023-24, finishing up part of more Tier 2 league title-winning celebrations on this occasion.

Began 2024-25 at Llandudno, pocketing 15 goals in nine matches before signing for Connah’s Quay Nomads in November 2024. Has since amassed 28 goals in 24 first team games for Quay, winning another Adran North championship medal last term.

Scored her 50th senior goal on her 32nd appearance on October 13, 2024, in a 4-0 win for Llandudno at CPDM Bangor. She was four months past her 20th birthday, but it must be taken into account she missed the best part of two years’ action through injury.

BETH ROBERTS (CPDM Henllan) – 17 games
Born: 7-6-2008. Age when scored 50th goal: 16 years 331 days

She went on to have a dream season for the Vale of Clwyd village side, piling up a scarcely believable 53 goals in 19 league and cup appearances – a modern-day North Wales record.

Netted her 50th senior goal in just her 17th senior game while still aged 16 in an 8-0 win at Welshpool – her fourth of six on the day – on May 4, 2025.

Beth progressed to Tier 2 by joining Adran North side Flint Town United this season, While the goals have understandably been reduced given the stronger opposition, her standard of dazzling forward play just gets better and better.

Scored a phenomenal individual goal in a 4-0 victory against CPDM Bangor on November 11, 2025.
