Colwyn Bay 1 - 4 Everton - 14/08/00 - Friendly
A
crowd of over 1,600 saw Colwyn Bay lose to a talented young Everton side in
their final pre season fixture match at Llanelian Road.
Everton
took the lead on 13 minutes through Danny Cadamateri when he lobbed the ball
over the advancing Richie Roberts and into the empty net. But Bay hit back two
minutes later when Marc Limbert’s quickly taken free kick curled beyond
Everton ‘keeper Steve Simonsen.
The
home side could have taken the lead soon after when Alun Evans went close,
whilst for Everton Danny Cadamarteri also opportunities to add to his opener.
Everton
regained the lead on the half hour when Nicky Chadwick hit a fierce shot that
Richie Roberts could only parry, and Chadwick was on hand to score from the
rebound to give the visitors a 2-1 half time lead.
In
the second half, substitute James McIlvogue could have equalised for the Bay on
the hour mark.
Soon afterwards, from an Everton counter attack, Danny Cadamarteri, whose pace caused
the Bay defence problems all night, had his shot well saved by Colin Caton on
the line with Richie Roberts beaten. Rather than the red card, Caton was
immediately substituted. Jamie Milligan’s resultant penalty was well saved by Roberts, who
had a good game in goal for the Bay.
Soon
after Nicky Chadwick scored his second and Everton’s third with a good header,
and Jamie Milligan made amends for his penalty miss when he scored with a
powerful shot after some good Everton approach play.
