BLUES HELD BY ALFRETON
It was a case of two points dropped as Chester were held at home 2-2 by Alfreton Town at Deva Stadium last night. Chester, starting without a recognised striker on the pitch, fell behind in the 28th minute as Josh Ayres headed home from a corner routine.

Two goals in quick succession turned the match round before half-time, Fin Shrimpton equalised after Phil Croker had headed back a corner into his path on 37 minutes. Five minutes later a foul on Connor Woods saw the Blues awarded a spot kick that Woods himself duly despatched.

Two minutes after the break a long clearance from Town goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne was headed on, the ball was allowed to bounce twice by the City defence before Jo Cummings nipped in on the loose ball to score past Bobby Jones for the equaliser.
