United in the first round of the FA Trophy. The
tie will take place at the New Bucks Head on Saturday

match and again in the replay
at Chester.

LATE GOAL SINKS BLUES
Chester left Tyneside empty handed after a late
goal gave the home side all three point. Manager
Steve Burr gave debut’s to loan signings Ryan
Lloyd and Danny Hattersley as Chester created, but
failed to take, several chances in the opening half.
The only goal of the game came eight minutes from
time when Alex Whitmore defelected a Ryan Bowman
shot past Jon Worsnop.
The on-loan defender told the Chester Leader: “The
ball came through two sets of legs and I saw it
at the last minute and it just hit my leg and went
in. It’s just one of those things. It was
unlucky but at the end of the day if we were 2-0
up before that happened then it wouldn't have been
a problem, but if you don't take your chances then
you don’t win the game and that’s the
moral of the story.”

nine appearances for the Shaymen this season.
HANNAH GOAL BRINGS POINT
Ross Hannah’s equaliser in first half added
time brought the Blues a point from a hard fought
home match against Dover Athletic in difficult wet
and windy conditions. Alex Whitmore, signed on loan
earlier in the day, made a solid debut in the defence.
Ricky Miller opened the scoring with a volley for
the Whites following a fine flowing move that gave
Jon Worsnop no chance. Hannah poached the equaliser
deep into first half stoppage time following a John
Rooney free kick that fell loose in the box.
Manager Steve Burr praised the character of his
players saying: “I think tonight was one of
those where mistakes were going to happen with the
conditions, but I’m just pleased we got back
into it after going behind – great character
shown by the lads. They worked hard tonight.”

THOMSON JOINS FCUM
Midfielder George Thomson has gone on a one month
loan to FC United of Manchester.
13 November 2015
PAIR AVAILABLE FOR LOAN
Both Kane Richards and George Thomson are available
for loan. BOth have failed to command a regular
place in the starting X1 this season. Manager Steve
Burr said: “We’ve had a couple of enquiries
for those two but as yet there's been no movement.
I think it’ll help them to regain a bit of
confidence and get some games. That’s what
we’ve done with Tom and with Sam too going
out to Witton and getting some experience there.”
“I think it’s important that
if those lads can get fixed up we do that to get
them some games and get their confidence back.”

Athletic to extra time before eventually losing

through Jamie Stott from the penalty spot before

scored his second to give the home side the lead

free-kick that found the net but the referee ruled
the effort out for a foul on the goalkeeper.

Scarisbrick, Savin, Jones, Brown, Dawson ((Exell
