Colwyn Bay left it late to beat a dogged Conwy Borough 3-0 to maintain their unbeaten start and move up to second in the JD Cymru North.

In a game which kicked off more than an hour late following a serious incident on the A55, Bay finally broke the deadlock four minutes remaining.

Alex Downes continued his fine goal scoring form, scoring with a header from Tom McCready’s corner.

McCready himself scored Bay’s second two minutes later – the captain scoring with a sweet strike after a great turn in the box.

James Kirby sealed the late victory with a third in the final minute with an effort from the edge of the area.

Bay had created enough chances to be ahead at the interval, including two efforts from McCready and Dylan Allshorn’s deflected shot.

Allshorn fired wide of the post early in the second half while Kirby has a header saves and Tommy Creamer had shot blocked before Bay broke Conway’s resistance.

Bay are two points behind but with a game in hand over leaders Buckley Town, who inflicted Llandudno’s first defeat of the season.
