Coast Cup defence gets underway

COLWYN BAY start their defence of the North Wales Coast FA Challenge Cup with a first round tie against Welsh Alliance side Blaenau Ffestiniog at Llanelian Road's Red Lion Foods Stadium on Tuesday night (Feb 24th, 7.30pm).
Blaenau were drawn at home, but have agreed to switch the game against the cup holders to Colwyn Bay because they do not have floodlights., and the victotrs will join Prestatyn Town and Rhyl who are already through to the quarter-finals.
Seagulls player-boss Jon Newby is likely to give a game to squad members who have not been playing regularly, such as Liam Benson, Chris King, Lee McEvilly and reserve keeper Andy Metcalf.
Newby is also planning to give a game to midfielder Jamie McKernan, who was at Southport with Danny Lloyd and who is now registered with the Bay and has been training with the squad for the last three or four weeks.
Admission prices are reduced to £4 (adults) with £2 (concessions).
Tickets will also be on sale for this Friday night's excellent Elvis show with top impersonator Michael King.
