Mens 5s vs Bebington Mens 3s
Chester 1 - Bebington 3
A weakened Chester side rapidly conceded the midfield to their athletic and somewhat aggressive opponents who while lacking skill and positional awareness managed through their youthful enthusiasm to exert considerable pressure on Chester's defence that played very well in the first half to rebut all the attacks. Bebington scored a dreadfully fluky goal seconds before half time after Chester carelessly lost the ball in the Bebington circle and a wild clearance fell between the Chester keeper and defender allowing a forward to deflect the ball agonisingly goal wards. As Chester ran out of energy and players as two had to leave the game injured Bebington grabbed 2 goals from penalty corners both of which would have been prevented on another day.
