Recap

THE Seagulls were beaten 1-0 by Stockport Town in their opening pre-season friendly at the Blue Turtle Arena.

In a goalless first half the Bay, fielding a mixture of new signings and regulars from last season, went close from a free kick but Stockport had plenty of possession and Toby Green shot narrowly over the bar from a free kick.

Colwyn Bay made wholesale changes in the second half and Dan Atkins headed a chance just wide before Stockport got the only goal of the game through Terry Benson-Brewer after a goalmouth scramble following a good break by Rhys Ferguson.

The Bay battled hard for an equaliser with Sol Forde going close and Lloyd Marsh-Hughes hitting a post, but the visitors held on to take the win.
