COLWYN BAY will move back into the top three of the Unibond Division One North table if they can avoid a sixth defeat in eight games in their re-arranged game at home to Warrington Town on Tuesday (Feb 16, 7.45pm).
It has certainly been a difficult five weeks for Neil Young and his team, in which they have played the other four teams in the top five and lost to all of them.
But they now have a run of seven games, including four against teams in the bottom nine of the table, in which they can pick up enough points to guarantee their place in the play-offs.
Tuesday is their game in hand over rivals Skelmersdale United, who currently hold third place ahead of the Bay on goal difference, and that should be added incentive for the Bay to show the character to end a run of three successive home defeats.
Warrington are not in great shape themselves at the moment. After a good run that lifted them into the top eight and sparked hopes of challenging for the play-offs, they have won only one of their last eight games - losing five and drawing two.
With no fresh injury worries, Colwyn Bay are likely to have the same squad on duty that lost at Halifax last Saturday.
"We are working hard to try and bring in a couple of new players, but it is doubtful anything will happen in time for the Warrington game," reported Neil Young.
The game could also see a return to Llanelian Road for Lewis Corrigan, who recently signed for Warrington.
Colwyn Bay: (from) Sanna, Denson, Graves, Sheehan, Challinor, Olsen, Sheridan, Kelly, Black, Stones, Davey, Brandreth, Lynch, McGill, Grannon, Ablett, Jackson.

IT was always going to be tough - and it was.
Colwyn Bay virtually had to defend from start to finish in their 3-0 defeat at Halifax (March 13) and in the end did well to keep the score down to three - helped by a fine penalty save from Chris Sanna in the second half.
Nobody can fault the effort the players put into the game, but after defending stoically for the first half hour, two goals in the space of four minutes decided the game before half-time.
The Seagulls were never going to come back from that against a far superior side and it was a case of damage limitation in the second half.
Neil Young sent on substitutes Tom McGill, Tim Brandreth and Danny Grannon to try and get something going up front, but home keeper Jonathan Hedge did not have one save to make in the game.
Halifax had 17 attempts at goal, nine of them on target, while the Bay managed only two noteworthy efforts from Neil Black in the first half and Jimmy Kelly in the second, which both went over the bar.
Neil Young admitted: "Some days you just have to hold your hands up and say you were beaten by a better side.
"I thought for half an hour we defended well, especially at set pieces, but they've had a bit of luck when the ball has bounced off Stuart Graves' shins for their lad to get in the shot which led to the first goal. A few heads have gone down then and we've conceded another goal very soon afterwards which was a killer.
"But lets be fair, Halifax are a very good side who I think will win the league. They have got two very good players in midfield as well as the lad up front (James Dean) and that makes a big difference at this level and we haven't got that quality of player.
"I am not going to knock our lads because they kept going and worked very hard and sometimes you can't ask for more than that. Every one of them has put a shift in, but there are days you just come up against better players and a superior footballing side - and this was one of them."
Halifax, of course, with their facilities, finances and big support (this game was watched by a crowd of 1,388) should be in a higher league and this season they look to have a team that should at least take them one step up the pyramid.
The prolific James Dean was a constant threat up front and although Colwyn Bay played five in midfield to try and combat Halifax's strength in that department, they were still overrun at times and were rarely able to create any sort of a threat themselves.
My personal point of view was that I felt none of the five in midfield (Sheridan, Sheehan, Olsen, Kelly and Black) were out and out ball winners who could make an imposing presence in the middle and disrupt Halifax's attacking momentum at source.More often than not when they tried to win the ball they were penalised for a foul. When they did have the ball they were too easily dispossessed at times or gave possession away with a poor pass - and that meant the over-worked back four got little respite.
Halifax dominated from the start with Sanna saving with his legs from raiding full-back Danny Lowe and getting down well to save from Dean.
Bay players threw their bodies in the way of several shots and Luke Denson got in a tremendous goal-saving tackle to deny Richard Marshall.
But the Shaymen finally broke through on 34 minutes when the ball rebounded off Graves to Tom Baker and although Sanna managed to turn his shot onto the bar, Lowe was following up to score from the rebound.
Four minutes later Dean put in a strong run past Dave Challinor and Greg Stones through the middle before firing a great finish past Sanna to make it 2-0.
In the second half , despite valiant defending by Challinor and Stones in particular, Ryan Crossley and Paul Sykes both missed the target with an excellent chances, while Dean had a header cleared off the line by Luke Denson and had another effort well saved by Sanna.
Sanna then pulled off a tremendous penalty save on 83 minutes, diving to his right to beat away Marshall's spot kick after Jimmy Kelly had brought down Tom Baker in the area, but four minutes later Halifax got their third goal when Scott Phelan's shot through a crowded area squeezed under Sanna's body.
Neil Young was unhappy that five of his players were booked when there was hardly a bad challenge in the match, but overall he could have no complaints about the result.
Now, after a depressing run of five defeats in the last seven games, the manager must try and regroup for Tuesday's home game with Warrington.
"I am particularly down at the moment and there are a few issues I need to go away and think hard about," he added.
Colwyn Bay: Sanna, Denson, Graves, Sheehan (Grannon 61 mins), Challinor, Olsen, Sheridan, Kelly, Black (Brandreth 61mins), Stones, Davey (McGill 51mins). Subs not used: Lynch and Jackson.

AFTER four defeats in their last six league games - three of them to top five rivals - not many willl expect Colwyn Bay to get much from Saturday's trip to second-placed Halifax (March 13).
The Shaymen are unbeaten at home in the league this season and have lost only once in their last 16 fixtures.
And the Seagulls' pre-match plans were hit on Friday when forward Paul Brown, who had initially agreed to join the club from Droylsden, decided to pull out of the deal and join Witton Albion instead after talks with Gary Finley.
Manager Neil Young commented: "It is a bit of sickener. But Paul would not have been available for midweek games due to his work and and the search will go on to try and bring in the players we need."
The manager has recalled Tom McGill from a loan spell at Buckley Town and has also added Jamie Dunn to the squad to increase his attacking options against Halifax, but Jimmy Kelly remains a slight doubt with a troublesome calf strain.
There is also the big blow of losing central defender Danny Meadowcroft, who has been recalled from his loan spell by Northwich Victoria, and the manager must decide whether to recall Tim Brandreth or go with Greg Stones alongside Dave Challinor in the centre of defence.
"We have a game plan in mind, but we have a number of selection options and we will make a final decision once we've seen the pitch," said the manager.
I understand the The Shay playing surface, where they also play Rugby League, is heavily sanded and bare of grass in places, and that may possibly influence team selection.
Halifax will be fired up because a win will take them to within one point of leaders Lancaster, who are without a game on Saturday and still have to travel to The Shay for what could be a title decider.
Neil Young commented: "To my mind Halifax are the best team in the league - but we have to be positive and go there looking to win," he said.
"There has been a number of surprise results in this division in the last month and we have to believe that we can produce another.
"It is important we are organised and don't give anything away in the first 20 minutes of each half."
Colwyn Bay (from): Sanna, Denson, Lynch, Ablett, Brandreth, Challinor, Graves, Sheridan, Kelly, Black, Stones, Sheehan, McGill, Davey, Dunn, Grannon.
The concern is that another defeat could see sixth-placed Leigh Genesis (at home to Woodley Sports) move to within seven points of the Bay in the chase for a play-off spot. But after next Tuesday's home game against Warrington, five of the Bay's next six games are against teams in the bottom nine and a good haul of points from those should guarantee their top five finish.

COLWYN BAY conceded a goal in each half in a 2-0 home defeat to league leaders Lancaster City (March 9) to suffer a fourth defeat in their last five home games.
Three of those defeats have been against top five rivals, and manager Neil Young admits his side's chances of gaining promotion through the play-offs could now rest on him being able to bring in a couple of quality forwards before the signing deadline in two weeks time.
"It is obvious from recent results that the current group of players we have are not at the level of the other teams around us," he said candidly.
"The big issue is that we are crying out for a couple of quality forwards. We don't have somebody who can hold the ball up or put in runs that open up defences like Lancaster's number 11 (Paul Jarvis) did tonight. In the end he was the difference.
"Lancaster came with a game plan to play tight at the back and hit us on the break and we weren't good enough to deal with it.
"We have had good spells of possession, but the ball is not sticking when we get it forward and if it keeps coming back at you then eventually you are going to concede.
"But we are not that far away from Lancaster, Skelmersdale and Curzon Ashton and if we can get the two or three players we need then I am confident we can beat any of them in the play-offs - but at the moment it is a big 'if'."
Colwyn Bay gave a rare start to Fraser Ablett as they stuck with a 3-5-2 formation against Lancaster, but unfortunately they made the worst possible start by conceding a soft penalty after only seven minutes.
Left winger Jarvis was tripped as he put in a strong run past three Bay defenders into the box, and Adam Farrell confidently scored from the spot.
It was always going to be uphill for the Bay after that and in fact Lancaster should have added a second when Farrell headed a great chance wide from six yards from a Jarvis cross.
Chris Sanna also made a good save at Jordan Connerton's feet in a one-on-one as Colwyn Bay struggled to create anything at the other end, with nobody able to hold the ball and play in supporting players.
The Seagulls did start to get a foothold in the game in the closing 15 minutes of the half when they were able to string some passes together, and Lee Davey, who worked hard all night, headed narrowly over the bar from a Fraser Ablett cross, and Jimmy Kelly fired a chance wide from the edge of the area.
Lancaster keeper Martin Fearon blocked an angled shot from Davey early in the second half, but Lancaster went 2-0 up on 63 minutes when that man Jarvis scored direct from a free kick.
Earlier Sanna, whose performance earned him the man of the match award, saved from Jarvis when Lancaster should have scored from a three-on-one breakaway, and the keeper also touched a Connerton shot round the post as well as racing off his line to save bravely at the feet of Lancaster's top scorer.
Colwyn Bay never stopped trying and finished the game strongly after Greg Stones pushed up into midfield from the back three and Tim Brandreth was thrown on as an extra forward.
But Fearon made two excellent saves from Brandreth and Stones to deny the Bay a late consolation goal, while Stones also had a shot cleared off the line by a defender.
Colwyn Bay: Sanna, Olsen (Sheehan 80mins), Ablett (Brandreth 68mins), Meadowcroft, Challinor, Graves, Sheridan, Kelly, Black (Denson 61 mins), Stones, Davey. Subs not used: Lynch and Jackson.
THE good news is that Skelmersdale lost at Woodley Sports , so the Bay are still level on points with them with two games in hand in the race for third place.

COLWYN BAY have Anthony Lynch back from suspension but have lost their exciting young loan signing Alex Titchiner ahead of Tuesday's huge home game against league Leaders Lancaster City (7.45pm).
Titchiner, who has proved a real impact player during his loan spell from Crewe, has a badly inflamed shin and ankle after being injured in last Saturday's 2-0 win at Ossett where he set up the second goal, and the Crewe physios have ruled him out of action for at least a fortnight.
That takes him out of his loan period, so he has probably played his last game for the Bay - unless a further loan deal can be negotiated for the end of the season.
Bay manager Neil Young commented: "Alex has done really well for us despite never being 100 per cent fit due to injuries. He has shown what potential he has and I am sure we will hear a lot more of him in the future."
His loss further depletes Young's attacking options in a week in which the Seagulls play the division's top two sides in the space of five days.
Jamie Dunn will come back into the squad after illness for tonight's game and striker Tom McGill will be recalled from his loan spell at Buckley Town, for whom he scored last weekend, in time for Saturday's trip to Halifax.
The manager added: "If we are to have any chance of challenging for automatic promotion then we have to beat Lancaster - and that will be tough.
"We have to get at them early, upset their rhythm and really have the crowd behind us to spur us on.
"The fans again played their part with their vocal support at Ossett, despite being understandably frustrated by our disappointing peformance in the first hour - and we need more of that at home "
Lancaster are currently seven points ahead of Colwyn Bay with a game in hand, but have lost three of their last five away games - including a shock 3-1 defeat at third-from bottom Harrogate Railway last Saturday, when they were without their two star players Jordan Connerton and Roger Sharrocks.
I understand from Lancaster that Sharrocks will be missing again at Colwyn Bay due to injury, but Connerton, who has been interesting a number of League clubs, WILL be back.
Colwyn Bay (from): Sanna, Denson, Lynch, Graves, Meadowcroft, Challinor, Sheehan, Sheridan, Kelly, Black, Stones, Olsen, Dunn, Brandreth, Williams, Davey, Headley, Ablett, Grannon.
Meanwhile the manager has dismissed rumours that he has been trying to sign left winger Kevin Leadbetter from Conference side Droyslden.
"That is news to me," he said today (Monday).
"Kevin is a good player, but the the only way we could get him would probably be on loan. We are only allowed two loan players at one time and with Danny Meadowcroft already here (and with talks currently going on to try and extend his loan period from Northwich), the priority at the moment is to bring in a goalscoring centre forward."
The manager added he is still working hard to try and get least two more players in before the signing deadline of March 26.

A DOUBLE substitution early in the second half inspired Colwyn Bay's 2-0 win at Ossett Albion (March 6) on a day when top five rivals Lancaster, Skelmersdale and Curzon Ashton all lost.
Neil Young opted for a 3-5-2 formation, with Greg Stones switching to the back alongside Dave Challinor and Danny Meadowcroft, while full-backs Luke Denson and Stuart Graves played advanced roles down the flanks and Ian Sheridan partnered Neil Black up front.
The team tried to build attacks from the back and had the majority of the possession in the first half, without being able to create much in the final third.
Sheridan, Meadowcroft and Denson all missed the target with headed chances, but the Bay were unable to create one clear shooting opportunity, and home keeper Ben Saynor did not have to make a save in a poor first half.
At the other end Chris Sanna saved from David Syers and came off his line quickly to save at the feet of James Nestor, while Syers went closest to a goal with a header that was just wide with Sanna beaten.
The introduction of Alex Titchiner and James Kelly from the bench in the opening ten minutes of the second half then sparked Colwyn Bay into life and they suddenly looked brighter and sharper and were able to put the home defence under some sustained pressure for the first time.
Kelly, left out of the starting line-up because of a sore calf, really livened up midfield when he came on and the home defence found Titchiner a handful with his pace and tenacity.
Saynor made a fine one-handed save to deny Greg Stones from a corner and the keeper also saved from Titchiner before Colwyn Bay won the game with two goals in the space of two minutes.
First Sheridan fought for, and won, the ball on the by-line and then crossed low for Neil Black to back-heel the ball past Saynor on 72 minutes for his first goal since November.
Then two minutes later Titchiner beat his marker on the left and cut into the area before pulling the ball back for Ian Sheridan to smash in his 13th goal in the last 13 games.
Anthony Sheehan had a shot saved and substitute Fraser Ablett had another shot wide as the Bay continued to dictate.
Shane Kelsey and Nathan James shot narrowly wide from Ossett's only efforts at goal in the second half, although Chris Sanna came off his line to make too good punched clearances from dangerous crosses.
Having used their three substitutions, the Bay had to play the last 10 minutes with virtually 10 men as Titchiner was limping heavily after a kick on the ankle, but the Seagulls held on comfortably for the three points.
Manager Neil Young admitted the victory wasn't gained in the manner he would have hoped, but the most important thing at the end was the three points in the bag.
"We started quite well in the first half, but in the last 20 minutes we were giving the ball away too much and reverting to too many long balls," he reflected.
"The start of the second half was much the same so we felt we had to introduce Alex Titchiner and Jimmy Kelly - although we didn't really want to do that because both are carrying knocks and we were trying to keep them back for Tuesday's game against Lancaster.
"But it was vital that we won this game, and fortunately the two substitutions made quite an impact - particularly so Jimmy Kelly - and helped us get the job done."
He added that the experiment of playing three at the back still needs some thought, although he said: "I thought we defended better and Greg Stones did very well there and showed everyone what a quality player he is."
Stones was certainly a strong candidate for man of the match along with Sheridan, who made one goal and scored the other, and Kelly, who made such a difference when he came on.
Colwyn Bay: Sanna, Denson (Kelly 55mins), Graves (Ablett 75mins), Meadowcroft, Challinor, Sheehan, Sheridan, Williams (Titchiner 54mins), Black, Stones, Olsen. Subs not used: Brandreth, Davey.
With other results going their way, Colwyn Bay went level on points with third-placed Skelmersdale with two games in hand and five ahead of fifth-placed Curzon Ashton, who have one game in hand - but have still not had a further three points deducted by the league following last week's FA appeal hearing over a financial irregularity.

COLWYN BAY manager Neil Young says he may try a new formation in Saturday's game at bottom-three side Osett Albion (March 6), as the Seagulls bid to get their promotion challenge back on track.
After three defeats in their last four games, the manager has worked the players hard in training at Colwyn Bay this week and says he has stressed to them the importance of keeping the ball and passing it better.
"A lot depends on who we have available and the state of the pitch, but we may possibility change the system to try and get better service and support to the forwards," he said.
"We have to get our passing game going again and I am looking for players to take the responsibility of getting hold of the ball and making better use of it."
The Seagulls will need to give late fitness checks on Jamie Dunn (flu) and Jimmy Kelly (calf strain), while Anthony Lynch is again ruled out by suspension.
With Saturday's game followed by two huge fixtures in five days against main title contenders Lancaster City and Halifax, Colwyn Bay can't afford to slip up against an Ossett side who are having a wretched season.
The Yorkshiremen have lost 11 of their last 12 league games, conceding nearly 40 goals, and have lost nine of their 13 games at home - where they have not won since October.
But Bay fans will be aware their own side has not managed a win at Ossett in their last five visits (four defeats and a draw) and although Neil Young dismisses any thoughts of Queens Terrace being a 'bogey ground' he warns: "You cannot afford to underestimate anybody in this league. Ossett are fighting to avoid relegation and will be fired up to try and turn us over, so we must be totally focused on what we have to do."
Meanwhile the manager has been frustrated in his efforts to strengthen the squad.
"I have spoken to four players from the Manchester area in the last 10 days and have been pretty close to getting a couple of them, but in the end they both decided it was too far to travel - and that's the brick wall we keep hitting," he reported.
Colwyn Bay (from): Sanna, Denson, Grannon, Meadowcroft, Challinor, Graves, Sheridan, Kelly, Black, Stones, Dunn, Titchiner, Sheehan, Olsen, Brandreth, Williams, Davey, Ablett.
A big pre-match boost is news that top scorer Ian Sheridan today (Friday) agreed to sign a new contract until the end of next season. With 14 goals so far this season, his pace and finishing ability have played a key role in the promotion chase.

COLWYN BAY Football Club is looking to try and boost home attendances as the team head into the final run-in for a possible top three finish in the league.
The club is offering supporters the opportunity to purchase a special "March Match Ticket" which covers entry for all four scheduled home games during the month - with FREE entrance to one of the matches.
These tickets will be available at the turnstile for next Tuesday's big game against league leaders Lancaster City (March 9) and must be purchased on the night.
The discounted price also covers the home games against Warrington Town (March 16), Chorley (March 20) and Wakefield (March 27).
Adult prizes are £21 instead of £28 (£7 saving); concessions £12 instead of £16 (£4 saving); students £6 instead of £8 (£2 saving) and children (Under 14) £3 instead of £4 (saving £1).

MANAGER Neil Young accused some his players of not being up for a fight after seeing his inconsistent side lose 2-1 at home to Skelmersdale United (Feb 27) - a second successive home defeat against top five rivals.
It followed the 1-0 home defeat to Curzon Ashton two weeks ago and means the Bay have lost three of their last four home games and have now been beaten at home by three of their likely play-off rivals.
After conceding a goal just three minutes into the second half, they got back on level terms through top scorer Ian Sheridan, only to concede again inside a minute.
Although Danny Grannon and Greg Stones (twice) missed good chances to score, the Bay's midfield struggled to make an impact on the game and in the end Skelmersdale just about deserved a win that puts them up to second place in the table, three points ahead of the Bay - although the Seagulls do have two games in hand.
But the manager warned: "We have a lot of work to do if we are to get anything out of the play-offs, because on this performance we are miles away from where we need to be.
"It was very similar to the Curzon game. We were just not good enough and I have to question the desire of some of the players. I have just asked each of them in the dressing room what they thought they had contributed to the game - and the answer for many of them, apart from Danny Meadowcroft who I thought was outstanding, has to be 'very little'
"There are too many players who are great when they get time and space to pass and play, but you don't get that too often in this league. Curzon and Skem have come here prepared to battle and we haven't been up for the fight."
He added: "The players haven't taken on board anything they've been told before today's game. They were also warned at half-time regarding throw-ins on the right hand side of the pitch - yet within three minutes of us kicking off Skem have scored from exactly that.
"We then get back in the game with an equaliser, but within a minute we've opened up like a pack of cards when we've failed stop their attack at source on the half-way line and their lad has had all day to run through and finish.
"I've worked hard to try and get us right tactically, having been to watch Skem twice, but the players haven't put a shift in.
"We shouldn't be letting teams around us come here and dictate games. We didn't compete for second balls enough or pick up the bits.
"I put the players on the pitch and it us up to me to deal with it - and I can guarantee there will be changes at Ossett next Saturday."
With the pitch cutting up from the start, Bay struggled to take control in midfield and gave away possession far too often to be able to put Skem under any sustained pressure.
Yet they did have two excellent chances to score in the first half with Greg Stones heading wide from six yards from an Ian Sheridan free kick. and then from a Jimmy Kelly free kick the ball fell perfectly for Danny Grannon in front of goal with time to pick his spot, but instead of bursting the roof of the net his low shot was beaten out by keeper Ryan McMahon, who then also blocked Danny Meadowcroft's follow-up shot for a very important double save.
Grannon was replaced by Lee Davey at half-time in a tactical switch to try and provide more attacking momentum, but it didn't make that big a difference.
Chris Sanna had twice saved well from Mark Houghton in the first half, but he was beaten by the Skem striker just three minutes into the second half after the Bay had stood off at a Skem throw-in and allowed Paul Woolcott to cross the ball from the right.
Colwyn Bay's main threats came from free kicks, with Meadowcroft having a header saved by McMahon and Greg Stones missing another good chance with a free header over the bar from six yards, before the Seagulls got back on terms on 67 minutes.
Kelly started the move in midfield and as the Bay attacked down the right, substitute Alex Titchiner teed up the chance for Ian Sheridan to score with a right foot shot from 10 yards.
But less than 60 seconds later Skelmersdale were back in front as Houghton was sent clear down the right and he cut in to hit an angled shot across Sanna and inside the far post.
The Bay failed to force a single save out of McMahon after that, with Lee Davey putting a header over the bar, Sheridan slicing a shot wide after getting himself into a promising position, and Meadowcroft's back header over the keeper landing on top of the net.
Although the manager's immediate post match comments were possibly clouded by his clear disappointment at the defeat, this was another home performance in a big game for the club that lacked conviction and creativity - and that on a day when four other teams in the top six all won.
Colwyn Bay: Sanna, Denson, Grannon (Davey 46mins), Meadowcroft, Challinor, Graves, Sheridan, Kelly, Black (Williams 72mins), Stones, Dunn (Titchiner 62). Subs not used: Olsen and Brandreth.

COLWYN BAY will try to end a nine-match unbeaten away league record when they take on play-off rivals Skelmersdale United at Llanelian Road on Saturday (Feb 27).
The Lancashire side have not lost on their travels in the league since September and have won eight and drawn one of their last nine away fixtures to emerge as the Seagulls' main threat to a top three finish which ensures a home tie in the play-off semi-finals.
That makes Saturday's game hugely important for both clubs and Colwyn Bay manager Neil Young says it is a game neither side will want to lose.
"Our players have been left in no doubt about how important this game is and have been told to make sure they prepare in the correct way," he said.
He watched Skelmersdale for the second time in a fortnight at Leigh on Wednesday and said: "They are a very good side who play good football.
"They had about four changes on Wednesday from when I saw them win 4-1 at Bamber Bridge with some of the best football I've seen all season, but it didn't seem to make that much difference to them.
"I am mulling over a few options as to how we will set up against them, and although it is a game we want to win, the important thing is not to lose."
The Bay have two games in hand on Skelmersdale and if they are at least still on level points with them by Saturday night they will be in a strong position.
Midweek wins from Halifax and Skelmersdale have nudged the Bay out of the top three for the first time since September, but the manager said he was not worried by that.
"We are pretty much cemented in the play-off places as things stand and we would need to go five or six games without a win for that to be threatened," he said.
"We are just taking each game at a time and looking to win as many of them as possible to try and secure that top three spot."
A win against Skelmersdale would certainly be a big boost towards doing that.
Young expects to have a near full-strength squad available.
The postponement of the midweek game against Warrington due to snow means full-back Anthony Lynch is still suspended, but Danny Grannon has recovered from a bout of tonsillitis that would have ruled him out of that game and Anthony Sheehan and Alex Titchiner are both fit again after injury concerns.
Tom McGill plays for Buckley Town tonight (Friday), but will rejoin the Bay squad next month, and Farai Jackson has now also offically rejoined the club to provide goalkeeping cover to Chris Sanna.
Colwyn Bay (from): Sanna, Denson, Grannon, Graves, Meadowcroft, Challinor, Sheehan, Sheridan, Kelly, Black, Stones, Dunn, Titchiner, Brandreth, Headley, Olsen, Davey, Williams.
