Chester Men 2 vs Neston Men 2
Chester 1 Neston 3
Chester started brightly and gave the league leaders a shock when Mark Talbot fired home a penalty corner. Chester continued to probe before Neston forced the equaliser. It was a pulsating game with both sides trying to play attacking hockey. Unfortunately Chester lost the Neston Centre half who weaved his way through the heart of the Chester defence to score a brilliant solo effort. In the second half Chester struggled to initially contain the Neston midfield and the pressure led to a penalty stroke. Chester re organised and pushed hard, Gareth Humpries forcing a good save from the Neston keeper. Neston however extended their lead at the top of the table.
