Her tough tackling, coupled with her dominance in the air, have made her one of the most feared defenders in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Genero Adran Premier Manager of the Season &#8211; Rhys James (Briton Ferry Llansawel)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In what was Rhys James&#8217; final season at Briton Ferry, he steered the Reds to a top two finish in their debut Genero Adran Premier season and defeated heavyweights Cardiff City, Swansea City and Wrexham in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2025-05-06-2025-FAW-National-League-Awards_ac_093-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2025-05-06-2025-FAW-National-League-Awards_ac_093-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2025-05-06-2025-FAW-National-League-Awards_ac_093-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2025-05-06-2025-FAW-National-League-Awards_ac_093-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2025-05-06-2025-FAW-National-League-Awards_ac_093.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Genero Adran Premier Young Player of the Season &#8211; Fiona Barry (Cardiff City)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has certainly been a debut season to remember at Cardiff City for Fiona Barry. The 18-year-old signed from Bridgwater United last summer and played in every league game for the Bluebirds, scoring nine goals to build a reputation for being one of the league\u2019s calmest customers in the final third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Genero Adran North Player of the Season &#8211; Polly Wild-McGregor (Connah&#8217;s Quay Nomads)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polly Wild-McGregor was named Connah\u2019s Quay Nomads captain at the start of the season and she has certainly led from the front.
