ETHAN ROBERTS scored his first goal for Colwyn Bay in his 88th game for the club as the Seagulls beat Aberystwyth Town 2-0 in the third round of the FAW Welsh Cup.
Adam Davies was the other scorer with both goals coming deep into added time at the end of the game.
A goalless first half saw Bay have an early escape when Liam Walsh hit the bar for the visitors, but the home side had most of the possession after that and also hit the bar while Jordan Davies had a shot saved, Josh Williams had a shot from 20 yards deflected wide and Nathan Peate, Jordan Davies and Dan Roberts all missed the target with chances.
The Seagulls, who lost Nathan Peate with a head injury on 57 minutes, coninutes to dominate in the second half and saw the ball cleared off the line at least three times, while Aberystwyth keeper Luke Evans made two big saves in the closing stages and Jordan Davies had a shot deflected wide for a corner.
The tie looked to be heading to penalties when Colwyn Bay finally made the breakthrough five minutes into added time when Adam Davies added the finishing touch to Lewis Sirrell’s header for his sixth goal of the campaign, after Jordan Davies’ shot from an Ethan Roberts shot had been blocked.
Two minutes later substitute Ethan Roberts got his long-awaited first goal for the club after Luke Evans had saved from Jordan Davies..
