HEAVY DEFEAT AT CURZON ASHTON
The
Blues suffered their heaviest defeat since January
2022 when they were beaten 4-0 at the Tameside Stadium
on Saturday. It took The Nash, managed by former
Blue Craig Mahon, just two minutes to open the scoring
through Devon Matthews. A mistake from goalkeeper
Elyh Harrison gifted Michael Afuye the second goal
on 20 minutes.
A penalty conceded by Tom Peers was duly converted
to Stefan Mols to give the home side a commanding
three goal lead at the break. There was to be no
comeback from Chester as Isaac Buckley-Ricketts
added a fourth just after the hour mark to complete
the rout.

CHESTER PAY THE PENALTY
A
lackluster Chester suffered a 1-0 home defeat at
the hands of Buxton at Deva Stadium last night.
The only goal of the game came on 14 minutes as
Ethan Fitzhugh shot home from long range.
Chester created little to trouble The Bucks in the
opening half but carved out more chances following
the break. The best opportunity fell to Kurt Willoughby
on 75 minutes after referee Alexander Beckett awarded
a penalty following a foul on Tom Peers. After a
few minutes delay, as several Bucks players scuffed
up the penalty spot, Willoughby saw his spot kick
smash against the post.

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.
