Colwyn Bay 28 Denbigh 0
COLWYN Bay score four tries in the last 20 minutes to help their battle against relegation.
The Bay gained maximum points in a win over bottom club Denbigh on Saturday to record only their second victory of the season.
Denbigh had the better of the opening minutes and had the chances to take the lead with two early penalties which sailed wide. However, the Bay were soon looking the more likely to score as their potent back division building on their forwards breaking through on the edges of set pieces launched long range attacks which were only thwarted when they conceded penalties close to the line. Despite the Bay gaining the upper hand through their more aggressive play in the loose an error strewn first half remained scoreless as countless moves broke down because of handling errors.
Colwyn Bay eventually broke the deadlock after a quarter of an hour of the second half when Denbigh were only able to halt some rampaging Bay play close to their line.
The pressure eventually told when outside half Tom Williams sniped over at the posts from a scrum for a try which centre Adam Hughes converted.
The Bay went further ahead in the sixty third minute when they launched an attack from half way towards the right corner before switching the ball back infield to break through a disorganised Denbigh defence for prop Alex Jones to cross for a try which Hughes again converted.
As the game entered the final minute the Bay again showed their superior driving play by the forwards as they took advantage of lax Denbigh defence to take play deep into the visitor’s 22 before spinning the ball wide where right wing Martin Cormack crossed in the corner for a try which Hughes converted with an excellent kick from the touchline.
Worse was to follow in injury time as missed Denbigh tackles again allowed the Bay to take play close to the Denbigh line.
From a quickly taken tap penalty prop Alex Jones was able to power over for his second try under the posts leaving Adam Hughes the easiest of conversions to seal a comprehensive victory.
Colwyn Bay face COBRA away on Friday at 7.45pm in the Welsh Plate.
