Despite putting up a good battle at the Blue Turtle Arena, Colwyn Bay could not stop runaway leaders The New Saints taking the points.
The Seagulls created quite a few chances in the game, watched by a Friday night crowd of 727, but after a goalless first half, league top-scorer Jordan Williams struck on 53 and 66 for the champions, the second a penalty.

JD CYMRU NORTH

Llandudno 7 Gresford Athletic 1

For the second time this season Llandudno hit seven at home against Gresford at Go Goodwins Stadium.
The previous occasion was back in August, when the Seasiders whipped the Colliers 7-0 in the Nathaniel MG Cup, but on Friday league points were at stake when the hosts piled on the goals again against the Wrexham-area side.
The game stood 1-1 at half time, with Gresford’s improved form of late serving them well, but the picture changed totally in the second 45.
Callum Stephens struck first for Tudno on seven minutes before Paul Johnson levelled on 33.
It remained 1-1 until the 61st minute when new signing Nicholas Grogan put the Seasiders in front.
Aidan Higgins made it 3-1 on 71, then soon after Gresford’s Johnson was sent off for a second yellow.
Subs Mark Cadwallader (2) and Marc Williams and a second for Stephens piled on the agony for the visitors with goals in the last 15 minutes. The win put Llandudno five points clear at the peak.

NORTH WALES COAST WEST PREMIER DIVISION

CPD Llanystumdwy 0 Nantlle Vale 0

Nantlle Vale stretched their unbeaten run to 10 matches but missed a chance to close the gap on Premier leaders Menai Bridge to five points with three games in hand when the Penygroes men were held 0-0 at Llanystumdwy.
However, Llan have been in good form themselves of late, Friday’s result meaning the fifth-place villagers have lost just once in seven outings.
