From the Colwyn Bay blog:
"In fact, we didn't get much from the referee after half-time and I wasn't happy that the challenge on Matty Hughes went unpunished. For me it was a coward's challenge. The lad has led with his forearm and connected with Matty has he headed the ball and caused a two inch gash which has ultimately cost us because we couldn't stop the bleeding."
Colwyn Bay fans at the game complained afterwards at dreadful verbal abuse they had received from some Boston fans (including women), and Challinor was also unhappy that Hughes was booed by home fans after he had been injured.
"Matty showed courage to stay out there and get in a lot of important headed clearances despite a very nasty gash that may need stitches. He didn't deserve the abuse he received.
"The behaviour of their fans through the game was not acceptable from my point of view," he added. "I am all for supporters getting behind their team, but being abusive to people is not big or clever and is not the way I want to see fans behave."
