Colwyn Bay 1 - 1 Hucknall Town - 08/09/01 - League
The Bay illustrated their
new found resilience but failed to pick up their third win in a row as the drew
1-1 with Hucknall Town in this Unibond Premier League clash at Llanelian Road.
The first half was keenly contested by both sides and goal scoring chances were
few and far between. Deiniol Graham had a chance to open the scoring for the
hosts on 20 minutes but saw his shot saved by Town's goalkeeper and captain Dave
McCarthy.
As half-time loomed the Seagulls forced a series of fruitless corners and right
on the stroke of half time Alun Evans burst into the visitor's box only to see
his shot well saved by McCarthy.
Bay came out for the second half firing on all cylinders in the second half and
put the visitors under pressure without creating a clear cut
goal-scoring opportunity.
However the visitors came storming back and after testing Paul Smith in the Bay
goal three times, Leroy Chambers put the visitors into the lead.
Seven minutes later Bay were back on level terms, James McIllvogue's well
weighted through ball found Marc Limbert who squared his pass to man of the
moment. Alun Evans to coolly slot the ball into the visitor's net for his fourth
goal of the season.
Hucknall skipper McCarthy made sure the visitors left Llanelian Road with a
share of the points as Bay nearly pinched all three in the final minute, saving
well from Evans and then from substitute Cross making his first appearance of
the season.
