Whitby Town 1 - 0 Colwyn Bay - 15/12/01 - League
Despite having plenty of chances,
the Bay fell to defeat in this UniBond League Premier Division clash as Whitby
won their first home league game of the season.
Although the home side enjoyed most of the possession in the first 45 minutes it
was the Bay who had the better chances. James McIlvogue almost gave the visitors
the lead after 12 minutes, his fierce drive was palmed away by Phil Naisbett.
In the second half the Bay continued the side most likely to break the deadlock
and on the hour Paul Jones' 35 yard chip was turned over the crossbar by the
home 'keeper.
Yet it was Whitby who sealed the three points with ten minutes left. Robinson's
flick fell to Lee Ure and he clipped the ball past Paul Smith from 10 yards. Bay
could have snatched a point four minutes later when McIlvogue hit the bar
from 12 yards.
Colwyn Bay: Paul Smith, Stuart Scheuber, Gary Curtis, Paul Jones, Timmy Edwards, Jason Jones, Craig Hogg, Graham Roberts, James McIlvogue, Dean Williams, Craig Lawton(Jon Fisher-Cooke). Subs. Steve Jones, Colin Caton. Attendance 239.
