Goals from Ross Hardaker, Jimmy Eyles and Issac Baldwin helped Ossett Albion move up to 15th following an excellent home win.
Colwyn Bay started the brighter and Brett Souter, in the Albion goal, had to be alert to keep the scores level.
As Albion came into the game they began to create chances and in the 18th minute a deflected shot from Hardaker beat Kieran Wolland to give the home side the lead. Twenty minutes later Albion could have doubled their lead after Rob Bordman headed the ball down into the box but no-one was there to finish.
A minute into the second half, Bay thought they had equalised with a looping header but it was ruled offside. In the 72nd minute they did get their equaliser when Gareth Grant finished well after the ball had been bouncing around in the Albion area.
This seemed to stun Albion into action and they took the game with two quality goals. Jimmy Eyles weaved past three Colwyn defenders to put Albion back in the lead. Then Isaac Baldwin broke on the left and fired home with a powerful shot from distance.
