Colwyn Bay have won the JD Cymru North title to secure promotion back to the JD Cymru Premier.

Bay went into their final game of the season at Penrhyncoch three points ahead of second placed Airbus UK Broughton and needing only a point to secure the title.

Dan Atkins' first half goal secured a 1-0 win for Bay, who make a swift return to the top-flight after relegation last season.

Elsewhere in the Cymru North, veteran Jamie Reed scored a late goal to secure a 1-0 win for Ruthin Town, who survived at the expense of Bangor 1876.
