Chester Men 2 Vs Deeside Men 2
Chester 5 Deeside 6
In the final pre-season friendly Chester hosted an experienced Deeside side. It was a hot day and a local derby always brings out the best in both sides. Chester took an early lead pouncing on a defensive mistake. Deeside equalised via a well struck penalty corner, Headley dipping the ball beyond the reach of the Chester keeper. The game then was nip and tuck till half time. In the second half Deeside had a 10 minute spell of dominance and rattled home 3 quick goals despite the resistance of the excellent David Joyce in goal. However the recently promoted Chester side showed true grit to almost bring the score back to parity. A good performance.
