There has been a terrific response from ex-City players wishing to take part in the testimonial. The game is between a current City X1 and a team comprising former players.

So far the following players have confirmed they will be there on the day:

Graham Barrow, John Barnes, Gary Bennett, Brian Croft, Ross Davidson, Bob Delgado, Nigel Edwards, Neil Fisher, David Flitcroft, Joe Hinnigan, Peter Jackson, Iain Jenkins, Grenville Millington, Roger Preece, Chris Priest, Kevin Ratcliffe, Cyrille Regis, Stuart Rimmer, Shaun Reid, Billy Stewart and Steve Vaughan.

Alex Smith, looks set to leave after walking out on the day of the Scarborough match. Wright said: “I�m very disappointed with Alex Smith�s attitude. I think he�s been in the wrong. We had a big game on our hands and other players had done well when he was out of the side for four games. Nobody has a god given right to stay in any side, and that�s what I tried to explain to Carl Ruffer. Alex left the ground before our match against Scarborough and didn�t pick up his championship medal. I thought that was well out of order, and I think a lot of our players feel the same way, so unfortunately it doesn�t look like Alex will be coming back. My opinion is that if a player lets me down once I don�t give them a second chance” said the manager.

With a very early start the under 9s of Chester City took on close rivals Newton and produced a very exciting game that went into extratime. City were not to be outdone and scored a deseved winner through the industious Taylor Sheehan and take the prized Olympic Trophies Cup which caps of a memorable first season together for the young Blues, all credit to Newton as they have been hot on the heels and pushed City all the way this season.

In the under 9s sheild another exciting game had the crowd on the edge of their seats as Upton Pumas got the solitary winning goal against Westminster Park Wanderers.

At under 10s JFC Boughton took on Chester City and found the Blues in good form with Reece Spencer instrumental in City’s 5-1 victory.

In the Sheild Competition between Blacon Tigers and Upton Jaguars the game was eventually decided on penalty’s with Blacon winning 2-1.

The under 11s got under way between league champions Chester Cuty and second placed Waverton with Waverton taking a deserved lead after some periods of preasure but the blues battled back well and secured the double with a 3-1 win with goals from Ross Summner (2) and James Huxley (1).

In a very good game at under 12s BSS more than deserved their victory with a single strike aginst championship favourites Chester City, as BSS have been neck and neck with City all season.

The under 13s of Chester City secured their double triumph against Pulford in a 2-0 win with a deserved Man-of-the-Match award for Mike Gawthorpe who came on as sub and changed the shape of the game getting the second with a penalty. All credit to both teams who worked tirelessley in the afternoon sun as Pulford pushed the Blues all the way being the better side in the first period by far, but City’s fitness carried them through in the latter stages.

Nathen Green produced a powerfull display for BSS in their game against the under 14s of Chester City and and got the winner in the 2-1 scorline.

At under 16s Chester City and Chester Nomads rounded of a faboulous day in front of the large crowd with a very gritty game that City eventually won 2-0 and with it taking the League and Cup trohies.

The home side will be looking for their eleventh straight win, a remarkable achievement, as they prepare for the play-offs next week.

The Blues, who have lost only three league games this season, needed three points from Saturday’s game to clinch the title and managed that through Darryn Stamp’s goal on 19 minutes. The game, with so much at stake for the home side, was never going to be a classic – and the swirling wind around the Deva didn’t help. There were nervous moment in the opening minutes as Iain Turner had to save at full stretch from Tony Hackworth (while lying on the ground) to keep the score level before good work by Daryl Clare on the left set-up Stamp, who beat a dallying defender to the ball before scoring from an acute angle against his former club to seal the victory. There were amazing scenes at the end of the game with the jubilant crowd invading the pitch before Bill King presented the Championship Trophy to a proud captain Paul Carden.

A delighted manager Mark Wright said: “We have shown a chartacter and team spirit this season that has been a credit to the players and we have deservedly taken the title. Of all the things you win and do as a player, this would probably beat them. To put together a squad of 20 players and keep them focused all season is a tough task. But in my opinion they deserve it, and it is a great day for Chester.”

Chairman Steve Vaughan, who has transformed the club over the last two years, addressed the crowd after the match: “We intend to go on and win more titles – there is no reason why we can’t emulate the success that Doncaster Rovers have achieved this season. When the dust has settled I will sit down with my manager and we will plan for the future, and strengthen where we need to strengthen.”

Second-placed Hereford United have battled with City all the way to the end of the season and Bulls manager (and former Chester player) Graham Turner was generous in his praise for City’s achievement: “It has taken a very good side to beat us this season – and Chester are a very good side. You can’t take anything away from what they have achieved, but I think we can take a lot of pride from what we have achieved and run them close. To go as we have, 10 matches with 10 wins, has asked a lot of questions of Chester, but they have dealt with the pressure. We are disappointed, but all we can do is say well done to Chester and we will look forward to the play-offs.

Mark Wright will let Daryl Clare decide if he wishes to play tomorrow. Clare missed Tuesday’s 0-0 draw at Shrewsbury Town after a health scare over his newly born son. There are also a number of injured players with Danny Collins, Alex Smith, Shaun Carey, Paul Carden and Phil Bolland are all carrying knocks.

The Seadogs, who currently occupy 16th place, are expected to field two former City players in Jimmy Kelly and Mark Quayle.

Fans are urged to get to the stadium early to avoid congestion for the game which is NOT all-ticket. City supporters will once again be able to stand on the south terrace with away supporters accommodated in the corner of the west stand.

After a goalless first-half in which City had enjoyed the greater possession without really threatening a goal, the Blues had fallen behind to a Sean Devine goal in the 59th minute following a rare error from Danny Collins but responded in style with two goals from man-of-the-match Michael Twiss and another from goal-machine Daryl Clare before Sean Canham pulled back a late goal for Exeter deep into injury time in front of over 4,000 fans at Deva Stadium.

Nearest rivals Hereford United had closed the gap to just three points earlier in the afternoon with a 2-0 victory over Barnet and have a tough away fixture at Aldershot Town tomorrow where they must look to pick-up maximum points.

McIntyre said: "I was bitterly disappointed that I got sent off. It is just one of those things when the ref thought I had butted their player, but I didn’t. I was just disappointed about the way their player reacted because I thought it was a joke. We’re going to appeal and the referee said he would have a look at the incident, but I don’t think anything will come of it. I suppose I’ll just have to take it on the chin and get on with it.”

“Both the Exeter City and Hereford United managers were both at the ground last night and they would have gone away thinking what they have to do to beat us. We played some great football last night and I was very pleased with the majority of the game. A lot of my players excelled and a win is a win. I could go on and on about our performance, but Aldershot, in my opinion, are the best side we’ve played. I hope Aldershot will now provide the same sort of performance against Hereford and really give them a game.

Midfielders Alex Smith and Paul Carden are both carrying knocks after Tuesday’s victory and will face fitness tests before tomorrow’s match. The home side will miss two players through suspension, Rory Prendergast and ex-City defender Steve Halford.

Over 1,500 supporters made the midweek trip to Shropshire and the same number, if not more, are expected to be at the Interlink Express Stadium (Crown Ground) tomorrow afternoon for City’s first trip to the Lancashire town since 1961.

The sides last met in November with a 3-3 draw at Deva Stadium after Ben Davies and Daryl Clare (2) had given City a 3-1 second-half lead in what was an entertaining open game.
