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. 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...

Photos courtesy of Michael Finnie. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025 Pictured above and below - the mass start of the Rhos parkrun. It was another jam-packed and fun-filled occasion on Saturday morning at the new Llandrillo yn Rhos (Y Promenade) parkrun last Saturday following a record-breaking attendance on Christmas Day. Despite the freezing temperatures and a generous covering of heavy frost around the region, with the icy conditions causing the cancellation of rival events at  Conwy  and at  Nova , the Rhos parkrun, possibly aided by a light layer of sand at key points, was given the green light, much to the delight of 576 eager entrants. And many runners later expressed their gratitude to the run director  Dougie Graham  and his RD colleagues,...
