Top Scorers: Vanarama National League

By Sam Elliott

Somewhat like the Vanarama National League itself this year, nobody is stretching their legs at the top.

The leading scorer chart is just as tight as the division they play in, but let’s take a closer look at those blazing a trail.

He’s been linked with a move to the Football League but Boreham Wood are determined to keep him - it’s no wonder why, as Bruno Andrade has found the net nine times already.

He’s sharing the leadership of the chart with Ryan Bird, whose deadly finishing has taken Dover Athletic to the top of the tree.

There’s four players on eight goals, one of those may be a surprise to see considering the struggles of Solihull Moors. Can Oladapo Afolayan fire them to safety?

Leyton Orient hope Macauley Bonne can fire them up the table, and there’s certainly goals in the lower half with Eastleigh’s Ben Williamson looking for the golden boot.

The Spitfires face Dover this weekend - both strikers will be keen to show each other what they can do!

Last year’s run away National League North scorer Danny Rowe hasn’t found it quite as easy a division up but has seven to his name.

There’s a midfielder on the list too. Woking’s Joe Ward has been fantastic for the Cards as they have enjoyed a solid first half of the season under Anthony Limbrick.

Vanarama National League top scorers:

Bruno Andrade (Boreham Wood) 9 goals

Ryan Bird (Dover Athletic) 9 goals

Ben Williamson (Eastleigh) 8 goals

Corey Whitely (Dagenham) 8 goals
