AWAY RUN ENDS WITH A POINT
Chester’s run
of six successive away matches finished last night
with a 1-1 draw at a very cold Rushall Olympic.
It was a game of very few chances and two penalties
as the Blues took the lead five minutes into the
second half with captain George Glendon converting
a spot-kick, moments later though Matty Williams
was adjudged to have fouled in the box and up stepped
Alex Fletcher to bring Rushall level and earn a
point for the home side.

his first goal for the club on Saturday as Chester
won 1-0 at third placed South Shields. The win ended
the home sides unbeaten home record, in fact they
had only conceded once at home all season prior
to Edwards’ close range strike six minutes
before half time.

TROPHY DEFEAT
The Blues were beaten
on penalties in their second round FA Trophy match
at Nantwich Town on Saturday. Manager Calum McIntyre
had made seven changes to the starting X1 from the
team that were beaten at York City in midweek, giving
a debut to striker Christian Norton.
A game a few chances saw the Blues reduced to ten
men for the final 17 minutes as Adam Thomas had
to go off with an arm injury after all three substitutes
had been used. The game ended 0-0 after 90 minutes
and went straight to penalties. Early misses from
the spot by Declan Weeks and Charlie Caton set the
Dabbers up for a 4-2 win on spot-kick’s and
a home tie against York City in round three.

CUP EXIT FOR BLUES
Chester were beaten
2-1 in last night's FA Cup replay at York City.
The Blues got off to a poor start conceding an early
goal in the fifth minute as Lenell John-Lewis scored
at the near post following a corner. The York captain
doubled the lead on 66 minutes as a sliced clearance
from Liam Edwards bounced over 'keeper Wyll Stanway
allowing John-Lewis the easiest of goals from a
couple of yards out.
Backed throughout by an impressive away crowd of
755 Chester responded well and pulled a goal back
through George Glendon racing through onto a superb
through ball from Harrison Burke. The Blues pressed
for an equaliser but found David Stockdale in the
Minstermen's’ goal in fine form keeping out
efforts from Charlie Caton as the home side held
out for a televised second round match against Wigan
Athletic.

PEERS SEES RED
Striker Tom Peers
was given a straight red card following an incident
at the end of Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at bottom
of the table Darlington. The Blues, whose coach
broke down on the way to the match, found themselves
3-0 down at the break before goals from Peers and
George Glendon in the second half set up a tense
final 20 minutes, but City were unable to find an
equaliser late on.
