This was a deserved point for Chester who returned to action after their enforced two week lay-off and with just one training session under their belt.

It was a scrappy opening which saw Simon Grand have the first real effort blocked following a Bradley Bauress corner, while at the other end Louis Gray was called into action to block Tre Mitford’s first time effort. Chester’s main threat was coming from corners though Danny Elliott managed to shoot over the bar having been set-up by Declan Weeks.

Chester broke the deadlock six minutes after the break as Bauress swung in a corner and Jordan Cullinane-Liburd, under pressure from Grand, headed into his own net.

The Blues almost doubled their lead moments later as Alistair Worby made a fine save to deny Elliott’s smart header.

Brackley equalised ten minutes after Chester’s opener as Lee Ndlovu found Matt Lowe who cut inside and shot low and hard past Gray to find the net.

Chester looked for a winner and went close through Weeks who flashed an effort just over following fin play from Anthony Dudley, and substitute George Waring missed a great chance five minutes from time skying a shot over when well placed.

With time running out, defender Joel Taylor picked up two yellow cards in three minutes to receive his marching orders from referee Ben Wyatt. The defender will now miss the home game with Gateshead.
