Recap

Colwyn Bay FC 0 – Ruthin Town FC 1

The only goal of a tightly fought game came 12 minutes from the end when Ruthin’s Thomas Mann scored from a corner.

Earlier Sam Jones had a goal for the Seagulls ruled out for offside.

Llyr Morris had a shot saved and another effort blocked, while Tom McCready and Sam Jones were narrowly off target.

Manager Craig Hogg commented afterwards:  “We deserved all we got today.

“I am extremely disappointed by our lack of performance –  and that hurts a lot.

“After two good games away from home in the league, we’ve undone a lot of the good work.

“Ruthin deserve all the plaudits that come their way after their excellent performance and deserved win. They outplayed us and outworked us; end of story.

“It is imperative that we address the bad from this game and move on.

“We now have a 10 day break  which isn’t ideal, but we have time to cover a lot of work as we prepare for the Conwy game (Tuesday, August 10th).

“Today was a bad day, but there will be good ones ahead I am sure. It is crucial we put things righty and quickly.”
