Colwyn Bay defeated Halluwell 5:0 in the Premier League's Regular Season - 9 on Tuesday evening. The visitors dominated from the opening stages, with M. Hill breaking the deadlock in the ninth minute. By then the match was already shaping up as a one-sided affair, and the home side never really got back into contention.
J. Davies doubled the advantage shortly after the half-hour mark, and L. Sirrell added a third before the break. And here's the thing — Halluwell had just one corner in the entire first half. J. Kenny made it 4:0 in the forty-second minute, while Davies completed his brace just before the whistle in stoppage time.
To be fair, the statistics confirm what the scoreboard showed. Colwyn Bay enjoyed 55 per cent possession and registered ten shots on target compared to Halluwell's three. The home side won more aerial duels in the air, but that didn't translate into anything meaningful in front of goal.
Our prediction of an away victory came good, and it was no surprise given the gulf in form. Halluwell have lost eight of their nine league matches this season, picking up a single point along the way. Colwyn Bay, sitting seventh with sixteen points, showed exactly why they're pushing for a higher finish.
Several changes were made around the hour mark, with Colwyn Bay bringing on four players at once — D. Poole, C. Bratley, D. McGiveron and S. Baker. Davies came off in the seventieth minute after his brace, replaced by M. Winslade. O. Davies was the latest change in the eighty-second minute.
The result leaves Halluwell rooted to the bottom of the table, while Colwyn Bay extend their winning momentum. Eighteen minutes of this match, particularly the opening twenty, told the whole story — the visitors were always in control.
