BLUES FIGHT BACK TO KEEP PLAY-OFF HOPES ALIVE
Goals from Tom Peers, from the penalty spot, and Connor Woods saw Chester come from behind to secure three more vital points towards their push for the end of season play-off’s.

Chester started the stronger of the two sides with Peter Jameson in the Quakers goal pulling off a fine save to deny Connor Woods early on. Against the run of play the visitors, who harboured outside chances of a play-off place themselves, took the lead with a swift counter attack. Cedric Main fed a through ball to Will McGowan who despite the close attention of three Blues defenders found the net.

The Blues drew level five minutes after the break with Peers sending Jameson the wrong way from the penalty spot following the award of the spot kick for handball. The comeback was completed on 64 minutes as Woods converted from close range after Tom Leak had deflected a Declan Weeks corner goal wards.

LATE GOAL DENIES BLUES VICTORY
Chester were denied a deserved victory at Hereford on Saturday when a last minute error from goalkeeper Jimmy Storer allowed the home side a late equaliser. Chester had taken the lead just before half-time with top scorer Tom Peers heading home from a pinpoint Nathan Woodthorpe cross.

The home side, who had created little in the opening period, drew level in the early stages of the second half. Having being awarded a corner when the ball appeared to hit a Hereford player last, Jaiden White scoring from the edge of the box.

Chester struck back with an instance response as Connor Woods scored his first goal for the club four minutes later converting a Declan Weeks cross from close range. The Blues pushed for a third goal and both Peers and Kurt Willoughby saw efforts go close.

With the game three minutes into added time the home side scored an undeserved equaliser as goalkeeper Jimmy Storer fumbled a cross into the box allowing Jason Cowley to stab the ball home.
