A LOUIS ROBLES equaliser, controversially disallowed in the second half, proved a key moment as the Seagulls suffered a 3-0 Friday night defeat to Caernarfon Town at the Go Goodwin stadium in Llandudno.
There was no offside and Director of Football Mike Wilde said later he had no idea why the goal, which would have levelled the score at 1-1, was chalked off . He felt that was a big moment in the game as the Bay had all the momentum at the time and the decision was not only deflating for them but gave Caernarfon the lift to go on and score two more goals in the final quarter.
However, as in the recent Welsh Cup game, Caernarfon showed some clinical finishing with the chances they had, while Colwyn Bay couldn’t convert a number of opportunities.
In the first half Jordan Davies fired an early chance over the bar and Ethan Roberts was unable to convert a chance from the edge of the box before Caernarfon scored from their first real chance of game on 23 minutes as great play by Rio Owen on the right set up a tap in for Brad Young.
Home keeper Connor Roberts then made a great save from a powerful shot on the turn from Jordan Davies to keep his side in front at half-time.
Colwyn Bay forced a flurry of corners at the start of the second half, attacking down both flanks, without being able to add a finishing touch, while Alex Moore fired a chance just wide of the near post prior to the disallowed goal, presumably for something the linesman spotted in the build-up.
Connor Roberts then saved his side again from a promising Bay break.
Having survived the Bay pressure Caernarfon doubled their lead through Brad Young’s shot on the turn on 68 minutes and Dan Gosset added the third goal ten minutes from the end.
