The Chase For The Golden Boot Is Already On!

By Sam Elliott

It’s been a flying start to the season - especially in front of goal.

With goalless draws few and far between so far, it’s certainly been a campaign brimming with fine finishes as the penalty box kings take over. The Golden Boot race is already on!

But who’s going to win it? Well it’s far too easy to know for sure of course.

Two of the strikers expected to do well have done. Adam Rooney’s much publicised more to Salford City has seen his score seven times, he’s is the joint lead with, you guessed it, Danny Rowe.

Jack Muldoon used to play with him of course at Fylde and the Harrogate striker has been on fire with six. There’s a gaggle of players hovering just below with five to their name.

Let’s take a closer look at the top scorers so far.
