FRUSTRATING POINT FOR BLUES
Chester had to content
with just a point on Saturday after drawing with
Needham Market 1-1 at Deva Stadium. The Blues got
off to the perfect start opening the scoring on
just four minutes as on loan midfielder Taelor O’Kane
opened his account scoring from close range after
Connell Rawlinson had headed down a Declan Weeks
free kick.
Tom Peers almost doubled the lead minutes later,
with just Marcus Garnham to beat in the visitors’
goal, he shot inches wide of the post. Lambert saw
another effort saved by Garnham as Chester totally
dominated the early proceedings.
Midway through the half the Marketmen drew level
though Teddy Collis, who, having seen his shot from
a corner saved by Jimmy Storer, was quickest to
react and netted from the loose ball.
Chester pushed again and were unlucky when Jordan
Hunter saw an effort crash back off the woodwork,
the ball then ricocheted off Connor Woods onto the
bar and over!
The second half saw few chances of note, Connor
Woods going close late on but Chester were unable
to break down a well drilled Needham Market defence
and had to settle for one point.
