Unibond League: Brigg Town 1 Colwyn Bay 5
ANOTHER super show from the Seagulls cemented fifth place in the table as delighted manager Gary Finley celebrated his sixth match unbeaten since taking charge.
“We ran the game from start to finish and if you were looking for a man-of-the-match you could pick from any one of half a dozen, we were that good,” he said.
Up front the Bay cut Brigg’s
physically big defenders down to size with their pace and ball craft that set them poles apart on the day.
“Some of our approach work and inter-passing was a joy to watch and this sort of performance must boost our confidence even higher,” added Finley.
Poor Brigg Town won’t exactly be looking forward to their trip to the seaside this Saturday for a back-to-back return at Llanelian Road after Bay’s crushing display.
Impressive Darren Wright set the scoring machine in motion on 21 minutes with a shot he bent inside the post from an difficult angle with Martin Crowder chipping the keeper for the second just before half-time.
A twice-taken penalty allowed Paul Grimes to pull one back after debutant keeper Zac Hibbert, on loan from Burscough, had brilliantly saved his first effort soon after the break.
John Lawless returned the compliment from the spot on 51 minutes with Neil Black lobbing a fourth half an hour later.
Substitute Mark Quayle produced a cheeky chip for number five with two minutes to go to make it the Bay’s biggest away win for three years and convert their goal difference from negative to positive for the first time this season.
