DAN ATKINS scored the only goal of the game to earn Colwyn Bay another big three points in the title race as they beat Denbigh Town 1-0 in front of another big Friday night home crowd of 824.

Playing their second game in four days, the Seagulls had to dig deep to get the result, but a second successive clean sheet was huge with Airbus winning 7-0 against Ruthin to keep up the pressure.

Earlier Tommy Creamer and Craig Linfield, from a good run and cross by Ethan Roberts, had put efforts over the bar, and Dan Atkins volleyed just wide from 25 yards.

In the second half Alfie Vaughan disposed a Bay defender and drove foreard befoe firing over the bar and Bay keep[er Rhys Williams had yo save well Davies cut in from the left and got in a dangerous shot.

Colwyn Bay retaliated with Jamie Cumming heading just over the bar and Dan Atkins bringing a good save out of Beattie with an overhead kick, while Cumming floated another effort just wide.

In nervy ending keeper Beattie came up for a late Denbigh corner, but Bay managed to clear and hold onto the three points.
