Golden Boot Race Heats Up Ahead of NWFL Matchday 5

The race for the NWFL Premiership Golden Boot is already gathering momentum as three players sit joint-top of the scoring chart after four matchdays in the 2025/26 season.

Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Rafiu Tosin have been in fine form for Robo Queens, each finding the net three times, while Atume Doosuur has matched their tally with three goals for Edo Queens. Their early-season consistency has set the tone for what promises to be an exciting goalscoring battle.
