A MEMBER of Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) was involved in a record-breaking woman’s football match at Wrexham AFC.

Del Morgan, who works for the DLL Active Communities team, played in goal at the Racecourse Ground, as 9,511 supporters watched the final game of the Genero Adran North 2022-23 season between Wrexham AFC Women and Connah's Quay Nomads.

Playing in goal for Wrexham, Del’s team managed to secure the 2-1 win, and became champions.

As the icing on the cake, Hollywood star and Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds congratulated the team on “playing their guts out” to secure the title win.

Del said: “The game was a fantastic advert for women’s football, both with the quality of the match and record breaking attendance of 9,511.

“The experience will forever be one of the best footballing experiences of my life and I’ll never forget it.

“I’m proud to play for Wrexham AFC and excited for what’s to come in the future.”

Jamie Groves, managing director of DLL, said: “We’re incredibly proud of Del and her whole team’s performance in Wrexham.

“Del is a fantastic member of the team who is inspiring women and girls across the country to get into football.

“We couldn’t be more proud of her involvement with Wrexham AFC and wish her all the best in the next games!”

Del came through Liverpool’s football academy, and her consistent performances for Wales at an under-19 level led to a move to Everton in 2015.

She signed for Wrexham for a second time in 2021, and is also a highly qualified and respected coach, holding a UEFA A goalkeeper’s licence, and is goalkeeping coach for the Wales under-19 women.
