PREVIEW | Leamington vs Chester

    The Blues head to Leamington this weekend looking to bounce back following three consecutive defeats.

    Losses to Hereford and Spennymoor in the last week at the Deva Stadium have left Chester sat in 17th place with 28 points from 28 matches. Our opponents this weekend sit two places and four points above Steve Watson’s men.

    The Blues could make it a league double over the Brakes though with victory, after taking all three points in dramatic fashion in the reverse fixture. James Horsfield’s fantastic 95th minute strike won the game in wretched conditions back at the start of December.

    Kick off on Saturday afternoon is 3pm.
