Recap

THE Seagulls need just a point from their final game away to Penrhyncoch next weekend to be crowned JD Cymru North Champions for the second time in three seasons.

They beat neighbours Llandudno 3-0 in a feisty ‘derby’  in front of a crowd of 1,378, the biggest of the season at the 4 Crosses Arena, while main rivals Airbus were held to a 1-1 draw by Mold Alex – with former Bay defender Lucas Gregson heading a late equaliser for Mold.

Colwyn Bay got off to a flying start with two set piece goals in the opening 14 minutes.

Dan Atkins headed the first from Sam Hart’s corner after just three minutes and 11 minutes later Lewis Sirrell got his second goal of the campaign from another corner.

Dan Atkins put an effort just wide from a good ball by Jay Owen and Josh Carey saw a shot fumbled by the keeper only for a defender to clear, while Callum Stephens and Adam Stephens were both off target with Llandudno chances.

The Bay defended their lead well in the second half as Llandudno tried to get back in the game, and the points were sealed on 70 minutes when Lloyd Marsh-Hughes came off the bench to score Bay’s third after Sol Forde had headed on  Jay Owen’s lobbed pass.

Rhys Williams then made a good one-on-one-save to preserve a fourth successive clean sheet.

COLWYN BAY: Rhys Williams, Sam Hart (c), Lewis Sirrell, Sol Forde, Jay Owen (Cai Owen 90), Craig Lindfield (Lloyd Marsh-Hughes 66), Ethan Roberts, Josh Carey (George Nugent 86), Dan Atkins, Will McKinley, Tom Creamer (Rhys Nash 66). Subs unused: Rhys Lloyd (G), Joe Williams, Guto Williams.

Attendance: 1,378

 Ethan Roberts was voted Carling Man of the match.
