North Wales Coast East: Kinmel Bay reach third Cookson Cup final on bounce, wins for Cerrig, champions Amateurs, Llandyrnog and Penrhyn Bay
NORTH WALES COAST EAST LEAGUE – APRIL 25
Cookson Cup semi-final
CPD Y Glannau 0 Kinmel Bay 3
Kinmel Bay reached the Cookson Cup final for a third successive season after a three-goal triumph away to Y Glannau on Saturday.
Revenge was sweet for Bay, with Y Glannau the only team to beat the Morfa side in their last 42 league matches dating back to October 2024. The last time Kinmel had played on this pitch was that 4-2 loss to the greens in March.
On Saturday, the visitors took the lead in the 13th minute when great work by Anthony Jones down the right led to a cross which Glannau keeper Bradley Wright could only palm into the path of Jacob Jones, who finished clinically for his 29th club goal of the season.
In first half added time, Y Glannau had Dylan Cunnah sent off for a second yellow card.
This gave Bay an added advantage for the second period and they went two-up on 67 minutes when Mason Richards burst from midfield and found Matty Beach, whose surged into the box and applied a lovely left-foot finish.
And the victory was completed in the 88th minute when sub Connor Bucknall curled home a beauty from about 20 yards.
