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.

Report by Don Hale. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025   North Wales Road Runner Karl Morris battled against heavy rain, gales, and a severe lack of sleep, to record a tremendous performance in the tough ultra ‘Ring of Fire’ race around the Anglesey Coastal Path last weekend. This is one of the most gruelling challenges in the country, and for this experienced endurance athlete, his demanding journey began at Holyhead’s Breakwater Park, and followed a continuous loop covering some 131 miles, and just over 11k elevation along the island’s picturesque coastal pathway. Karl’s determination to complete the course was evident by his overall race stats, with his family and friends able to watch and admire his progress online.
