ROONEY TREBLE SINKS YOUNG REDS
A John Rooney hat-trick helped Chester to a 4-0
victory over a Liverpool U21 side last night in
front of a crowd of over 2,000. Sam Hughes who was
earlier awarded his first contract added the fourth
goal to end a memorable day for the youngster.
The visitors had the better of the early chances
with John Worsnop pulling off a couple of saves
before Rooney fired the Blues in front just before
half time converting Jordan Chapell’s cross.
George Thomson headed over and Kane Richards hit
a post before Chester doubled their lead as Hughes
struck from close range following a Rooney free-kick.
Seven minutes from tome Rooney curled a delightful
shot past Ryan Fulton in the Reds goal and into
the top corner. The Blues midfielder completed his
hat-trick with a superb curling free-kick past Fulton
in the final seconds.

EXPERIENCED SHARPS JOINS DEFENCE
Chester have signed former Burton Albion and Tranmere
Rovers defender Ian Sharps, manager Steve Burr’s
fifth pre-season capture. Sharps, 35, has made over
500 appearances in the Football League including
spells at Rotherham United and Shrewsbury Town,
and brings a wealth of experience to the team. Last
season he played on loan at AFC Telford United but
decided against joining the Bucks Head side in favour
of Chester.
Sharps told the Chester Chronicle: “I spoke
to the manager about a month ago and he came across
really well and I liked what he said about the club.
I had a few sniffs from clubs in the Football League
but nothing really came of them and as a footballer
you want to play at the highest level you can for
as long as you can so it was an easy decision.”
“I live in Baschurch in North Shropshire which
is just off the A5 so it’s not far to come
and it’s going to be less travel than I’ve
been doing for the past few seasons.”
