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.

Conwy photos by Micheal Finnie. * *Steve Gardner is pictured right. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2026 coastandcountry.blog   It proved to be another bumper turn-out at the Llandrillo yn Rhos parkrun last Saturday with a generous mix of top junior and senior club runners, plus numerous first timers, social runners and walkers. Six out of the first ten finishers at  Rhos  were debutants, including many talented youngsters, all testing their paces against each other.  Surprisingly though, in a sprint finish, VM35 athlete  Aled Hughes  (GOG Triathlon) eventually claimed the top spot with a new course PB in 17 minutes and 11 seconds, whilst JM11-14 youngster  Finlay Potter  (Warriors Pentathlon & AC) finished just two-seconds behind Aled in 17.13, and  Craig Connor  (Chester Tri-Club) took the third spot, and he was only another f...

10,000th finisher milestone possible at Rhos parkrun this week?

*Pictured above - flashback to a previous start at the Llandrillo yn Rhos parkrun. 10,000th finisher milestone possible at Rhos this week? donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2026 coastandcountry.blog Report by Dave Munday, the organiser of the parkrun North Wales Facebook site.   As you all know this site is about promoting the 17 North Wales parkruns and especially the stats and figures that they produce. One thing other regions flag up is milestones on overall attendances since the parkrun started. In North Wales our highest overall attendance is Conwy parkrun with 111,614 finishers, it was such a shame that this site was not going for the 100,000th finisher, as that would have been great to capture that, and who was it that crossed the line, I will work it out and contact the Conwy parkrun team. This year, we will have different parkruns hitting different milestones and I will post up on here. The 1st one could be this weekend as  Y Promenâd parkrun, Llandrillo-yn-Rhos...
