CHESTER EXIT FA CUP
It was a disappointing performance from Chester who were beaten 3-1 at Scarborough Athletic in the FA Cup on Saturday. The Blues were forced to rearrange their line-up with defenders Connell Rawlinson and Nathan Woodthorpe both serving suspensions. The Seadogs opened the scoring through Dom Tear on 35 minutes and just four minutes later they doubled their lead from the penalty spot through Richie Bennett after the striker had been fouled by Ben Pollock.

Chester started the second half brightly and went close through Kurt Willoughby and Jack Bainbridge, but Tear added a third on 65 minutes to extend the Boro lead. Substitute Iwan Murray pulled a goal back in stoppage time with a great free kick but it was all too little too late.

BLUES HELD AT HOME
Chester unveiled their new digital scoreboard at Deva Stadium on Saturday but failed to trouble it as they were held at home to a goalless draw by a dogged Farsley Celtic.

The scoreboard, a tremendous new addition to the stadium, has been funded by a large donation from Chester Exile Pauline Meakins as well as contributions from the Hipkiss Family and the Away Travel Team.

Very few chances were created by either side throughout the game, the nearest the Blues came to breaking the deadlock was nine minutes from time when Kurt Willoughby saw a free kick hit the crossbar. Chester were reduced to ten men in the final minutes as defender Nathan Woodthorpe received a second yellow card.
