Apart from bringing in free-agent Mark Wright to replace Brian "Killer" Kilcline, who jarred his knee against Whitby Town, Bernard Talyor stuck with the side who shared the points with the seasiders on Saturday.

It was not until half an hour gone before the Robins gained any shape or pattern, mostly caused by an injury to skipper Carmody, which saw him replaced by Nigel Gleghorn after seventeen minutes.

By no means against the run of play, but somewhat surprisingly, they took the lead on 35 minutes when a Danny Adams corner was headed on, and Paul Ellender finished the move with a header of his own.

The days of wasted set-pieces at Moss Lane may well be on their way out.

Twelve minutes into the second half, Chambers was adjudged to have been tripped in the box and the spot-kick was awarded. Bay's keeper Richie Roberts kept his side in the game, when he saved Russell's central drive.

Disaster was to follow when Chambers put in a bookable challenge on Lee Congerton. Unfortunately it was his second yellow card and he had to walk.

The ten men put in extra effort but could not stem the tide and Colwyn substitute Peter Donnelly levelled the scores with five minutes left, to send Bernard homeward to think again.
