Colwyn Bay suffered their second home defeat of the week as league leaders Airbus UK ran out 3-0 victors.

Manager Steve Evans had to play himself in a depleted defence that was missing Lewis Sirrell, Joe Williams, Kristian Platt and Cai Owen, and although Andy Coughlin made a couple of early saves, the visitors took the lead on 21 minutes with a Jake Eyre penalty after Gaz Edwards had been brought down.

Sam Jones had a shot saved by Airbus keeper Lewis Dutton, but Airbus doubled their lead on 31 minutes when Jake Eyre scored his second following a Beau Cornish corner.

Craig Lindfield forced another save from Dutton from a Robbie Parry corner, but it needed Andy Coughlin to save from Airbus top scorer Andy Davies to deny the visitors a third goal before half-time.

Coughlin saved again from Davies before Beau Cornish secured victory for Airbus with a shot from the edge of the area 14 minutes from the end.
