Tight finish

[glemiln]

Given the state we were in after half-time, a great come-back to be winning 34-32, only to be penalised just on the hooter and having to share the vital points. For Hornets, with only 3 games remaining (due to the % win ratio system), the play-off positions wide are open, but we can ill afford poor discipline.   Certainly we must reduce the number of penalties we are conceding.  I guess we shall be without Fairclough after his two yellow cards today!   We shall have to be our best at Crusaders next Saturday* given their current form and today's splendid win at Worky.  *August Bank Holiday weekend at the seaside!

Should be a great game on Saturday. Hornets have always brought great support to North Wales and it would be great to see (and hear!) as many of you as possible at our new home.

With it being a bank holiday weekend, you can expect the A55 to be very busy so it might be worth allowing some extra time for the journey. The ground is quite easy to find, from junction 22 off the A55 (Old Colwyn), turn left for Eirias Park. At the top of the hill turn right at the roundabout, the stadium is on the right, after you pass the North Wales Police Headquarters.

If you are looking for a pub near the ground, look no further than The Park, which is where the fans meet before and after the games. If you walk out of the stadium car park, back to the main road, turn right and the Park is about 10 minutes walk on the other side of the road. Colwyn Bay town centre is further along this road, about half a mile. I don't know it there will be any food at the ground on the day, there hasn't been so far (possibly due to covid regulations).

There is a short video on the Crusaders section of this site if you want to see what the ground looks like, just look at the "Stadiwm Zip World" thread.

Have a safe journey and enjoy the game.
