Lost 3-1
Scorer - Fran Gibson 

Chester ladies 1s played host to a strong Sheffield side on Saturday and were unable to find their first home win of the season. Chester's first half performance, which earned them a round of applause from coach Keith Roper at the break, was the best displayed under the coach to date. The half, that consisted of several Chester chances that went either agonisingly wide or were well defended, left left both teams goalless at half time. The beginning of the second half saw more of the same from Chester, until midway through when Sheffield broke the deadlock from a short corner. However, new girl Fran Gibson soon equalised thanks to a mix up at the top of the D during a Chester short to level the game once again. Sheffield responded well and took charge of the game for the remainer of the half, scoring twice more from set pieces
