The visitors again had the better if the early exchanges after the break with Gareth Rowland denying Nigel Moore and Terry Williams. Gresford's midfield lacked sparkle and Carl Andrews was showing an early sign of “red mist” getting involved in more than the odd confrontation. For all of Gresford's possession they did not create too many chances so to freshen things up manager Sammy Jones replaced Simon Holloway with Danny Purdie who made a quick impression. Not everyone at the ground was convinced the referee got it totally right when Gresford were awarded a 65 th minute penalty after Wyn Jones had been impeded by John Parry .

There was a short delay for the ref to separate Carl Andrews and Holyhead's number four who went eye-ball to eye-ball but then Phil Jones side-footed the spot-kick to the right of the keeper. Andrews did appear to be on borrowed time and on 72 minutes the referee had no alternative but to ‘march' him after an attempted “head butt” an opponent. Although down to ten men – Gresford finished strongly and it was a shame they didn't start with such vigour. Gresford seemed to lose the plot almost as soon as they reached their penalty area but will take some heart – it is now six games since they have lost in the league
