Current NEWFA Council members of the North Wales Women's Football League Executive Committee are: -

Mr M. Hack (Chairman), Mr. G. Lloyd (Treasurer) and Mr. J. Bloor (Welfare).

In 2003 it was decided to form a women's football competition comprising of teams from NEWFA and NWCFA. Three Council Members from each Association (M. Hack, G. Lloyd and B. Roberts from NEWFA) decided to run a Cup competition. It was to be known as The Betty Pickering Cup and was donated by the NEWFA Chairman of that time Mr. Don Pickering in memory of his late wife. The inaugural winners were Corwen Ladies.

Following the success of this competition, it was decided to form The North Wales Women's League the following season. The first two seasons Pwllheli Ladies won the League and Cup double. Since then the League has been won by Colwyn Bay Ladies and our very own Wrexham Ladies.

The NW Women's Football League has (or has had) the following teams in it since its inception: Caernarfon Ladies, Cefn Ladies, Colwyn Bay Ladies, Kimnel Bay, Llandudno Junction, Llangefni (who later became Amlwch), Pwllheli Ladies and Wrexham Ladies.

In 2007/08 it was decided to hold a Shield Competition for teams who were knocked out of the early rounds of the Betty Pickering Cup. This not only gave teams another chance of winning a trophy but also resulted in more games for the ladies. The inaugural winners were Llandudno Junction Ladies. This season it was decided to invite Denbigh Ladies and Buckley Ladies to participate in the Cup competitions, and they both agreed, hopefully both teams will join the NWWFL next season.
