One of the few matches to be held during the freeze and fortunate to be able to get a slot on the G4 at Colwyn Bay. Despite the score a match played end to end with skill and energy. 

 

I had some photo difficulty with light and my poor technique but submit some photos to convey the atmosphere and action. Well attended game with 6 of the KBFC team officials present and all 5 subs brought into the match.


 

For the Bay goals which were all fought with determination we have:

Min 5 Charlie Jones his first of 2 goals this time assisted by Mathew Beach.

Min 7 Sean Sheridan first of his 3 in the match this assisted by Joshua Parry.

Min 18 Jordan Bellham first of his 2 this assisted by Mathew Beach.

Min 19 Sean Sheridan assisted by Jack Lloyd-Williams.

Min 28 Jordan Bellham assisted by Joshua Parry.

Min 54 C Jones assisted by Jordan Bellham.

Min 56 Sean Sheridan assisted by Daniel Mcilvogue.

Min 83 Jack Lloyd -Williams assisted by Charlie Jones.

Min 90 Oliver Gray assisted by Joshua Parry.

This local athletic club boosted the run director’s established team of supporters and their regular and excellent team of volunteers and marshalls, with all credit given to everyone involved on such a horribly wet day.

Wild, wet and windy for North Wales parkrunners... Report by Don Hale. Photos by Michael (Pat) Finnie. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2026 coastandcountry.blog   It was wild, wet, and very windy at the Llandrillo yn Rhos parkrun on Saturday, which may have helped to reduce the number of entrants at this venue, and at many other similar events this weekend. The conditions however, failed to deter another excellent turn-out of volunteers, walkers and supporters, who faced some strong blustery winds along this exposed 5k promenade course. Several talented and fast-paced young runners battled for glory again with just six-seconds separating the first four finishers, which also included two first-timers. Henry Pickard  was the first finisher overall in his debut in 16.56, with fellow visitor  Ben Rogers  second in 16.59, and  David Williams  (Royal Sutton Coldfield AC) was third in 17.00, whilst  Matthew Feetenby  (Ely Runners) finished a close fourth in 17....

Report by Don Hale. https://donhaleblog.blogspot.com   Twenty-four members of NWRRC took part in the annual Christmas club handicap race, which this year was staged from the Rhos on Sea clock tower to the renovated far end of the promenade and back over a 4.5-mile course. Well organised with times recorded and verified by  Carla Green  and  Elizabeth Driscoll , with support from other members, the handicap rules this time included each runner having to hand in their watches and mobile phones, and the need to predict their finishing times, so that no one knew their exact pace, or whether their estimated times were likely to be accurate, until they actually reached the finish line. The top three female winners , who were the closest to their times included the winner –  Kay Hatto...
