The game became ragged and Hallam pressed hard forcing a fine save from the chester keeper, however Hallam profited from the rebound. Chester were hungry for the win and immediately Andy Murray completed his hat trick to win the game. Hallam provided one last twist with a penalty corner which forced a fine save from Dafydd Jones to secure 3 points, Chester top the league.
