Injury-hit Chester picked up their first point of the festive season with a hard earned draw against Southport.

The Sandgrounders started well and it took a Simon Grand block in the opening minutes to deny Devarn Green a shot on goal, at the other end former Blue Ryan Astles was well placed to clear a Matty Waters cross shot off the line to deny the Blues an opening goal.

The best chance of the half fell to another former Chester player Jordan Archer who failed to connect with a Jack Sampson cross with the goal at his mercy, moments before the interval the same striker was denied by a smart save from Grant Shenton.

Dan Mooney just failed to meet an Anthony Dudley cross as Chester finished the half strong. The home side enjoyed plenty of possession in the second period without really troubling Dan Hanford in the Port goal.

Chester introduced both Lloyd Marsh Hughes and Adam Dawson from the bench for the final ten minutes but only had a Craig Mahon effort blocked in the box following a goalmouth scramble to show for their efforts.
