TRANSFER NEWS:
These are the players whose contract will run before the start of the next season. I plan to let all of them but Davies to run their contract and not renew them.
Coughlin is 40 years old, Hodges is 37, Rees 35 and Van Den Hauwe 39 so I’m expecting them to retire and then pick up their regens.
So it’s a wrap-up for this episode, folks.
I hope you enjoyed this third season aboard Colwyn Bay. I’ll be back next year with the start of season number four where we will be in Premier League. See ya around 🙂
Hi and welcome to this week’s episode aboard Colwyn Bay. We are going to finish the season and we still have the League Cup and FA Cup to deal with. Silverware time?
Before jumping right into it, we gotta deal with an offer for Carl Robinson.
As we have no use for him, we welcome the money.
Good lad. Thank you for your services!
League Cup Final
Coventry City 0 – Colwyn Bay 1
Tense affair under the shining Wembley lights. But Hodges rises up and rewards our set of travelling supporters as he settles the score in the first half. From then on we fight tooth to nail, forcing Hedman into a couple of important saves until the final whistle blew.
League Cup champions!!!
The only drawback is Maguire picking up an injury.
Bummer. He’ll be out of the FA Cup match.
FA Cup Semi-Finals
Blackburn Rovers 2 – Colwyn Bay 1
Lineup changes:
Mark Wright for Gavin Maguire
Still a bit dazzled by last Sunday’s win, our lads travel to Old Trafford for the semis. Unfortunately Blackburn had other plans and can’t recover. Anyway, it’s a very sweet run in the FA Cup (last year we made it until Quarter Finals) and we can always go for it in the following years. We are rewarded with applause at the end of the game
Game 39
Port Vale 0 – Colwyn Bay 3
It’s a minging Back to Division 1 action now and we do pretty well against one of the teams fighting for relegation. Wonderful game
Game 40
Coventry City 1 – Colwyn Bay 1
Important game as Coventry are three points behind us (with one more game played) and losing would reduce the gap between us. The start of the game couldn’t be any better as the first game play comes in the 5th minute of the game where a backpass from Campbell is mishandled by Hedman and Deniol Graham takes the opportunity to score. From then on, we just collapsed and Coventry forced us to retreat. Thomas was fantastic, saving pretty much anything thrown at him until Boland found a way through. So, it’s a draw in the end and we are still leaders.
Game 41
Colwyn Bay 3 – Stockport County 0
Great opportunity here as we’re playing the second-placed team which is 2 points behind us in the standings
We power through to a comfortable 3-0 victory, to the delight of our supporters. Like a copycat from the Port Vale game, Pike and Graham were the scorers
Game 42
Fulham 2 – Colwyn Bay 5
Lineup changes:
Nathan Wigg for Glyn Hodges John Davey for Jason Goss
48 hours later (it was on a Monday, you’ll notice it says Saturday on the screen because I’d taken a wrong snapshot and while I was going through with the save I noticed the mistake and took it again at 15/07. LOL) we find ourselves playing again in Craven Cottage. The game goes bonkers in the second half. It all pointed to a narrow score but all hell broke loose. Felgate and Wigg both bag a brace and we run out easy winners, leaving the home crowd stunned and whistling their team for poor performance.
Game 43
Colwyn Bay 2 – Bristol Rovers 0
All business at the Drill Field where we keep Bristol Rovers at bay and the majority of the match was spent on Bristol’s goal area. Anyway, despite the 16 shots taken we scored just 2 but it was enough to get the crowd entertained and happy.
Game 44
Colwyn Bay 3 – West Bromwich Albion 0
Wednesday night arrives and the drilling never stops. West Bromwich deflated after having Flo sent off and we capitalized on that situation, cruising to victory.
With this win, we crown ourselves as Division 1 winners!
Fantastic job lads, I’m very proud of all of you!
Game 45
With the championship already decided, time for some changes
Colchester 2 – Colwyn Bay 4
Lineup changes:
Tony Norman for Brian Thomas Ricardo Gabbiadini for Mark Cross
Relaxation? No such thing, boys! We came out on full force in the second half to kill Colchester. Devine opened up the score first but with a quick succession in attack we stepped on the gas pedal and we carried ourselves 3-1 up into the final 10 minutes of the game. Blake scored to bring Colchester closer with Graham adding another one to his tally three minutes later.
However, we’ll leave that for our next episode as we bring the end to this one.
Game 46
Colwyn Bay 2 – Barnsley 0
Nothing better to crown the season that a victory at home. Felgate rises to the top in the second half and quickly seals the deal against an underperforming Barnsley team which find themselves entrenched in the middle of the Division 1 table standings.
So, before the end of the episode, I’ll show the final standings:
Next Saturday, the final episode where I’ll be covering all stats from this season, trophy winners and the Euro results. Cheers! 🙂
Not exactly a scintillating match, but we got the job done. A backs to the wall, ground out 1-0 win thanks to Felgate. Davey’s injury is the only setback from this encounter.
Well, it’s not the end of the world. We can manage!
Game 33
Colwyn Bay 0 – Ipswich Town 2
Lineup changes:
Jason Goss for John Davey
Ipswich at home looked like a good chance to pick up another 3 points but we’re actually pathetic. They dominated the second half and dismantle us pretty quickly thanks to Barclay and Battersby. A bad day at the office.
Game 34
Southend United 2 – Colwyn Bay 1
Lineup changes:
Tony Rees for Ricardo Gabbiadini
A bit flustered with the outcome here to be honest. Same amount of chances for each team, both teams enjoyed the control of the ball in equal percentages but nevertheless we picked up a defeat. It all started pretty well though with Hodges netting one on a breakaway play after an assist from Chris Pike. Just before the whistle blew at halftime, Southend took the lead and put a dagger through our hopes. We couldn’t overturn the score despite the man advantage
Game 35
Charlton Athletic 0 – Colwyn Bay 1
Our losing mini-streak is finally solved at The Valley thanks to Richard Barnes..
FA Cup Quarter Finals
Nottingham Forest 0 – Colwyn Bay 1
Lineup changes:
Brian Thomas for Wayne Russell Mark Cross for Tony Rees
Our duo of strikers was a bit amiss in front of the opposing net but fortunately they still have the intelligence to deliver chances to their teammates when it’s needed, thus proving important against Forest. A pass from Felgate to Hodges ended up in the lone goal that puts us in the next round.
Game 36
Wolverhampton 1 – Colwyn Bay 0
We fell apart at the Molineux. A single shot in the entire match and we fail to muster anything of real significance. Garcia Sanjuan scores the solitary goal for Wolves.
Despite the loss, Coventry couldn’t deliver against Stoke City so we finally snatch the 1st place from them.
Game 37
Colwyn Bay 2 – Manchester City 0
We put the game to rest in the first half. We came out on a rampage with Deniol and Maguire banging in a couple of goals. City picked up their pace in the second half with Brian Thomas beautifully contesting every shot thrown at him. Score remained unchanged. No problem.
Game 38
Colwyn Bay 2 – Reading 0
Reading visit us next but they are no match for us and get dispatched by a 2-0 victory.
Before leaving, a quick look at the standings in Division 2.
Ah yes, we are racing 5 points ahead of Coventry. Still 8 matches to go but if we minimize screw-ups, we might we able to win the Division
We’re getting close to the end of the season, folks
Good Saturday to you all!. This is the fifth episode of this season with Colwyn Bay.
Let’s get it underway!
Game 24
Sheffield United 0 – Colwyn Bay 2
Mmm-bop! Classic instrumental performance from Jamie Savage and Gabbiadini and Sheffield United are disposed of with ease. It’s a rather poor display from their side.
Game 25
Colwyn Bay 2 – Oxford United 0
Scrappy win to be fair. First half was mainly Oxford’s and in the second we came with a very different attitude. Felgate first and a penalty converted by Pike sealed the deal.
Just as the match finished, I went into the Squad menu and I noticed the UNH sign next to Damien. What’s going on, pal?
Ahh so you want out already. SMH
Anyway, I have a couple of prospects waiting on the wings in my shortlist so if he decides to leave, at least we’ll be covered.
Game 26
Tranmere Rovers 1 – Colwyn Bay 2
We seemed to be cruising around to a comfortable lead when Goss tripped Thompson in the penalty box and was ejected. Phillips brought Tranmere back one goal and the remaining minutes were filled with uncertainty. But we held on, and it’s a narrow win for us.
Game 23
Colwyn Bay 4 – Bradford 0
The injury bug has hit us. Davies I don’t mind that much because I’m not playing him regularly. I can use Barnes for Cross, but I hope he stays fit enough for a month. He’s the only right winger that I have as a backup.
Game 27
Colwyn Bay 4 – Nottingham Forest 3
Lineup changes:
Richard Barnes for Mark Cross
Holy moly, what a game! Van Hooijdonk had an inspiring night and managed to put Forest ahead at some point in the match. We looked doomed to be looking into the abyss but we bounced back and turned the tide in our favour thanks to the contributions of Chris Pike and Felgate.
FA Cup 3rd Round
Colwyn Bay 2 – Hull City 1
Lineup changes:
John Nogan for Jason Goss (red card suspension)
The visit to Millwall served as a remainder to avoid getting too cocky. Both teams failed in the accuracy department, but at least Millwall managed to score twice out of 12 shots they attempted at our goal. Bad day at the office, if anything.
A bit concerned here due to the fact that we played against a D3 team and we were hanging by a thread in the last minutes of the game. All the action was packed in the first half with Pike netting twice and Hull sucker punching us just a minute after the second goal was scored. The second half we traded blows but the score remained the same, with both goalkeepers doing a terrific job in saving their nets.
Hell, important games coming up and a month away. Well, chill it son and get ready
Game 28
Stoke City 0 – Colwyn Bay 3
Lineup changes:
Jason Goss for John Davey
The win away at Stoke is wonderful (not on a Tuesday’s cold night but still works LOL). Solid beating.
Too bad for him as he was regaining rhythm. Well, time for Andy Legg to come back.
League Cup Quarter Finals
Derby County 0 – Colwyn Bay 2
Gritty match against a team which is fighting to avoid relegation from the Premier League. After a very hard-nosed first half, we found two goals in succession (literally in the same minute) and we just waited in the shadows. Derby harassed us the remainder of the game but Russell had a great night and repeatedly denied their efforts. Onwards to the next round.
No big worries here. Maybe a break will cool him down from wanting to leave
Game 29
Colwyn Bay 2 – Birmingham 3
Lineup changes:
Aled Griffiths for Damien Felgate
The string of victories comes to an end against Birmingham.
It’s a lively start where we find ourselves leading with just 1 minute into the game. By the end of the first half we were tied up 2-2. Birmingham had turned the score around but they barely had time to regroup as a long pass from Barnes was converted by Griffiths. We only had one more shot in the second half while Birmingham was trying their best to reach our goal, which they eventually did and they managed to score one more time. Disappointed faces in our supporters but well, every once in a while I guess it’s fine to have a bad day at the office.
Good day to you all! Welcome back as we bring Season 3 with Colwyn Bay to a start.
As a memory refreshener, we won Division 2 last year and therefore we were directly promoted to Division 1. We’re looking to a defender who can play in the anchor role to bolster the squad and we found a potential one.
Judging for his last name and his attributes he could be just that, a Savage lad.
Welcome Jamie!
So, this is our squad for the start of the season
Griffiths, Goss and Savage are the new faces in the block
This time around as I’m not in the need to spend a vast amount of time shopping around, I programmed a friendly against Salamanca to test the waters a bit
On this season, my idea revolves around this formation:
Friendly 1:
Colwyn Bay 3 – Salamanca 3
A few conclusions to draw out after this one. Firstly, admiring that the team is able to comeback from a potential defeat. Secondly, Van Der Hauwe and Young might be a bit too old for the defensive role. Might need to go hunt for a younger one and provide them with some backup minutes. Even so, as Spanish league isn’t loaded up, the Salamanca team had a base core and a bunch of grey players so the performance in itself is a bit of a question mark.
SEASON BEGINS! GAME ON, folks!
Game 1
Colwyn Bay 4 – Sheffield United 1
Any doubts arised in the friendly were quickly dispatched as we tear Sheffield to pieces and throw them to the ducks.
League Cup 1st Round, Leg 1
Colwyn Bay 4 – Bristol City 2
Ahh much better than meeting a Premier League at this early stage! It was a bit of a strange affair and we dragged our feet for about 60 something minutes and then a whirlwind came up and we changed our fortunes for good. And even when Bristol reacted and probably wondered “what the heck is going on here?”, we punished them again in the 89th minute to capture the win.
Ah, bummer. He’d been doing well so far. Don’t worry Chris. We got it covered
Game 2:
Colwyn Bay 2 vs Tramere 1
Lineup changes:
Aled Griffiths for Chris Pike
After the first half drought, we started putting pressure on Tranmere’s GK until we broke through and opened the score. Our pair of strikers stepped forward to give us an important win and within just two matches, we lead the Division table. Hewitt scored for the away team but there wasn’t any time left to keep going so it really doesn’t taint our performance.
League Cup 1st Round, Leg 2
Bristol City 0 – Colwyn Bay 1
Lineup changes:
Glyn Hodges for Kit Parrish
Pat Van Der Hauwe for Damon Searle
With the result from the first leg, It was a good chance to give guys some minutes. With a bit of effort, we came out unscathed from Ashton Gate. Griffiths was our scorer after tapping a rebound from Hume. Apparently the harmless play enraged the home team’s gaffer as Hume was immediately subbed out after that.
Game 3
Colwyn Bay 0 – Stoke City 0
An uninspired 0-0 draw against Stoke in a tough and gritty affair where the actual highlights were Savage and Vinny Jones’ regen hunting down opposition players. In the end, they got away with it without a yellow.
We got battered and bruised and Oxford displayed all of their arsenal against us. I’m getting antsy about the lack of goals.
So, just in case there isn’t something clicking, I went back to basics.
Game 5
Colwyn Bay 1 – Norwich 0
Lineup changes:
Mark Cross for Marcus Browning
The start couldn’t have been better as our first attack in the game ends up in a goal by Graham. In the And, it does do the trick. Low score had to do mainly with Dudfield having a terrific game and stopping our barrage of shots. But we overpowered Norwich and forced them to retreat the most of the game.
Before leaving, a quick look at the standings so far:
It’s a decent start to the season. We could’ve shared the spotlight with Colchester if it hadn’t been for that defeat at Oxford but as a I said before, it’s a long road ahead and I feel we can make it to Premier.
Now yes my friends, time to close shop for today.
Tune in soon for episode number 2 in this third season with Colwyn Bay. See ya 🙂
Hey everyone! Well, I’m finally back to writing on a regular basis. Took a while but now I got the mojo back.
Last episode incoming!
We have 7 matches remaining to fight for the lead of Division 2 and earn direct promotion to Division 1.
Game 40
Shrewsbury Town 1 – Colwyn Bay 2
We could not afford to drop points here but the start was not optimal as we trailed 1-0 at halftime. In the second half, we made every effort possible to at least draw the match but chance after chance Doig remained stoic and rejected our advances. Fortunately, our perseverance paid off and we scored two goals almost in sucession. Coughlin scored through a screamer from the left side, and Felgate after some penalty box pinball in the 90th minute of the game. Well done lads!
Game 41
Colwyn Bay 0 – Crewe Alexandra 0
The goals dried up a little bit in this one but there’s nothing to be concerned about just yet. Hopefully we can do better against Bristol City.
Game 42
Colwyn Bay 0 – Bristol City 0
Lineup changes:
Pat Van Den Hauwe for Marc Williams Chris Pike for Damien Felgate
And… we did not do better. We lacked a cutting edge here, only attempting 2 shots on target in the entire game which is a bit annoying. Anyway, the outcome is still joyous as the point was enough us to clinch direct promotion. A happy board congratules me after the game.
Game 43
Northampton Town 3 – Colwyn Bay 2
Lineup changes:
Brian Thomas for Wayne Russell Kit Parrish for Glyn Hodges Mark Cross for Richard Barnes
We allowed the lads to decompress a little bit, therefore they arrive at Northampton stadium a bit hangover from the celebration. Parity was broken in the 74th minute of the game when Gibb made a quick fire brace through the net and we only had a single attempt in Northampton’s goal from there on. No big deal
Game 44
Watford 2 – Colwyn Bay 1
First time during the season that I’ve been defeated in sucession. Despite being even in shots, Watford took the opportunity to finish it off with 3 minutes to go in the clock. Mooney with a long pass left Rosenthal on a breakaway and he scored the winner.
Game 45
Colwyn Bay 2 – Hartlepool United 0
Time to shake off the rust huh?. First half we were unsuccessful with Hollund stopping absolutely every ball aimed at him. We had better luck in the second though. Legg’s insistence in crossing the ball from his side finally paid off when he found Deniol well placed for a header twice, therefore picking a valuable win.
Second placed Colchester lost their match against Wrexham, which meant we won Division 2. Nicely done, lads!!!!
Game 46
Bradford City 1 – Colwyn Bay 5
The perfect way to round up the season. We play Bradford off their own park and Deniol Graham batters their defence scoring 4 goals.

With Carragher gone, it’s time to go hunting for a defensive midfielder then:
Come again? Cool your jets right there, kiddo! You haven’t even played and you want £ 50.000!. Out the door right now!
Plan B:
Another one? Yeah, the exit door is right there, pal.
We got this one next to give it a go. And his attributes look a little familiar. Can he actually be?
Yes indeed. A regen of the Enforcer.
Ah, finally! Welcome to Colwyn Bay, son. Just tackle every guy you see with a different shirt colour than yours (not including the referee of course, ha).
We also acquired this fella in the attacking role, recommended by the league scouts:
And you can definitely see why:
The only thing we’ll be needing is a defender to replace the retired Mark Aizlewood and that will probably happen after the July 15th deadline when regens show up.
So it’s a wrap-up for this episode, folks.
I hope you enjoyed this second season. I’ll be back soon (I promise) with the start of season number three. See ya 🙂
In this episode we will be playing five Division 2 matches, the first leg of the Windscreen Shield Area Finals, and the FA Cup 5th Round.
Now, let’s get right into it
Windscreen Shield Semi Finals
Bournemouth 0 – Colwyn Bay 2
Aizlewood with a header after a corner kick and Felgate see off Bournemouth in Dean Court. Good result..
Game 31
Plymouth Argyle 2 – Colwyn Bay 2
In normal circumstances I would’ve been disappointed with a draw, but this time picking up a point has a lot of merit. We were down to 10 men early due to Aizlewood’s red card and our replacement Eric Young didn’t last very long in the football pitch, so I found myself playing 2332 without a defensive midfielder. Risky, but we made it in the end.
FA Cup 5th Round
Colwyn Bay 5 – Notts County 0
Lineup changes:
Mark Aizlewood for Jamie Carragher
The match itself was a very one-sided affair. We took an early lead through Felgate, who bundled in following some pinball in the Notts County box after a set piece. 2-0 came in the 31st minute when young lad Kit Parrish notched, leaving Notts County with a mountain to climb. The second half saw them pull one back, only for it to be disallowed, which probably deflated them further. From then on, we kept the foot on the throttle and we place a nail in their coffin with two goals added to Felgate’s tally and Deniol Graham scoring another.
Game 33
York 1 – Colwyn Bay 2
Struggling match for us as we draw in the first half and we aren’t able to capitalize on Conteh’s sending off. Eventually we get it done thanks to our captain.
Game 34
Colwyn Bay 5 – Wrexham 2
It’s a bit of a struggle but we pulled the trigger in the second half and the final score shows a very different story of what the match was.
Game 35
Colwyn Bay 0 – Gillingham 1
Woeful display here. Only a shot on target in the whole game and with the match withering away Hessenthaler shot us down and we lose points.
Windscreen Shield Area Finals Leg 1
Colwyn Bay 3 – Chesterfield 0
Things seemed to clear up when in the first minute of the game, Wilkinson is sent off. Out of nothing Mark Cross delivers an angled ball to Graham, the ensuing shot gets parried and Browning is there to pick it up and send it to the back of the net. A rocket from Parrish near the end of the first half netted us the 2-0. Graham added a third in the second half. Smashed right thorough Chesterfield. Good win.
FA Cup Quarter Finals
Colwyn Bay 1 – Manchester United 1
Massive test here, being the only D2 team in the fixture against the almighty reds. Can we pull it off?
Lineup changes:
Mark Aizlewood for Pat Van Der Hauwe (two-match ban due to disciplinary points) Gavin Maguire for Jamie Carragher (cup-tied) Richard Barnes for Mark Cross Glyn Hodges for Carl Robinson Nathan Wigg for Kit Parrish Wayne Russell for Tony Norman
An almost fully packed Drill Field showed up to watch this game. We hold our head high to the comfort of our spectators and we will travel to Old Trafford for a replay. Collins advantage for United is quickly neglected four minutes later after Mark Wright connects a header from a corner kick. Grateful applause for our team.
Before leaving, a quick look at the standings in Division 2.
Welcome to episode number 7 of this save with Colwyn Bay.
We’re now in matchday 32 of 46, and our next adversary will be Colchester United
Game 32
Colchester United 2 – Colwyn Bay 2
Rees and Chris Pike our key players in the match. They contributed in both of our goals, one setting up each other. When it looked like we were going to take the 3 points, Stamps levelled the scored and frustrated the effort.
Then…
FA Cup 5th Round
Colwyn Bay 2 – Huddersfield 1
Our two midfielders were the top boys in this match. Early enthusiasm kicked in The Drill Field as we went into half-time leading 2-0. Only at the closing stages of the game Huddersfield tried to bring the game back with a goal from Barnes, but their efforts got thwarted by the clock running out. We’re through to Quarter Finals and we await for our rival.
Game 33
Hartlepool United 2 – Colwyn Bay 1
Not our finest day and as a result, we succumb at The Victoria Ground with two goals from Ian Marshall. It was a great opportunity to retake the lead of the division 3, but it wasn’t meant to be this day.
Injury news:
Game 34
Colwyn Bay 2 – Swansea 1
Lineup changes:
Mark Wright for Marc Williams Deniol Graham for Chris Pike
We recover quickly from the bad match at The Victoria Ground, and we beat our fellow Welsh counterparts. The best chances for us came up in the first half. The second half started very slowly with few actions bewteen the two teams until an assist from Nathan Wigg was turned into a goal by Deniol Graham. From then on, relaxing pace again which got disrupted by Bird’s goal in the 83th minute of the goal. They pushed forward for the next minutes but couldn’t find their way again into our net
TRANSFER NEWS:
We received an offer for Gavin Allen from a bunch of teams. A few of them had decent players to exchange, but given the criteria I’ve imposed on this save I chose to accept Ipswich proposal because they had Geraint Williams.
Gavin Allen decides to leave and despite we had an agreement with Geraint Williams from Ipswich, he selected Barnsley.
This means we’ll be needing a new striker. Fortunately there are a few Welsh options to consider, and after scouting the market I found two. Firstly I’ll bid for this guy:
The answer will come after our next match
Game 35
Colwyn Bay 1 – Exeter City 1
Cagey affair against Exeter, and at the arrival of the first half we found ourselves trailing 1-0 down. We spark into life in the second half and begin to get closer to their net. We finally break their resistance in the 64th minute, courtesy of Deniol Graham. Even added a second goal by Chris Pike, which was dismissed due to off-side. In the end it’s all level. It’s time to await news from Rees’ injury.
INJURY NEWS:
Oh boy! Well, Gabbiadini will have to step up to the forefront.
TRANSFER NEWS:
16.000? Are you serious, boy? 5.000 is the farthest I’ll extend myself. Take it or leave it
Good riddance then!
This was my second option, so let’s go for it. I hope we have better luck with this one:
We need to wait a few days until he considers our offer and makes up his mind
Meanwhile, just before the match…
Oh snap! He’ll miss the FA Cup as well
I’m able to deal with this currently, but in any case I’ll go out on the market to find a useful midfielder which I can bring on loan. Curiously, Arsenal recalled Jamie Day from Doncaster, and placed him as available to go on loan.
I’ll have a go at him again as Browning’s injury might not take that much.
Windscreen Area Finals Leg 1
Burnley 0 – Colwyn Bay 0
Lineup changes:
Nathan Wigg for Marcus Browning Andy Johnson in the AMC position where Nathan Wigg was
Wheel of luck gave us Wimbledon. May we survive against our crowd? Sadly the answer to that is a NO. Ekoku and the mighty Jamaican Marcus Gayle shatter our hopes of progression in the FA Cup. We now only have to worry about the 14 matches remaining to earn promotion to D2.
Sadly, Andy Evans also asks for a big sum of money to play for our club, so I’ll have to decline.
FA Cup Quarter Finals
Colwyn Bay 0 – Manchester United 3
With all the injuries I have, wish me luck.
A packed Drill Field showed up to support their team. Unfortunately, the difference in the quality of players was noticeable and Manchester United took a comfortable win. It’s the end of the FA Cup for us. Not bad for our first year.
Some good news before our next match
Yes! Welcome back Jamie.
Windscreen Area Final Leg 2
Colwyn Bay 3 – Burnley 1
3rd defeat in a row. Neither Dale nor Evans could deliver this time. Despite this, we’re still 3rd and we remain close to Leyton Orient and Rochdale. We’re in the final
So that’s everything for today, folks
Hope you join me next saturday with a new episode of this save with Colwyn Bay. See ya 🙂
