Match Details: Tuesday 1st October 2002 Northern Premier League Premier Division
Attendance: 175 Colwyn Bay: Smith Rigby Coathup Webster Hogg Jones Stannard Williams McIlvogue Kissock Edge Subs: Limbert Jefferies Caton A dismal performance from the Tigers at the seaside. Initial signs were favourable though with Deniol Graham on holiday and Carl Furlong suspended. We had Lee Evans and Anthony Hargreaves out injured, whilst Jay Anthony made his debut. To be honest, Hyde never got going. The first half was pretty even. Richard Eyre clipped a post and that was the closest we came. Right on half time, Ged Smith was booked for jumping at an opponent and from the resultant free kick, Lee Kissock headed home. The second half was only three minutes old when we gave Chris Edge too much time and space and he scored at the second attempt. The match degenerated (if it could get any worse) into a long ball game. The Tigers became more frustrated. Steve Foster, Paul Ashwell and Dave Swanick were booked. The referee had missed key incidents throughout and wasn't consistent with bookings. We couldn't blame the ref though for the way we played. Paul Ashwell received a second yellow after a 'handbags' incident and that summed up the Tiger's night. He will now miss the Marine game, as will Swanick who has accumulated five bookings. No serious goalmouth action to report. We can't blame anybody but ourselves. Even the pitch was in pristine condition - the best I have ever seen it - so we couldn't blame that either!
