MATCH PREVIEW | Chester vs Alfreton Town | National League North
Chester will be looking to build on a positive point at Brackley Town last weekend, with a chance at the Deva to get back to winning ways.
Alfreton Town provide the opposition, with the two sides playing out two extremely entertaining games last season. Chester have dropped down to third since last weekends draw, with King’s Lynn winning their game in hand in midweek at Kidderminster.
The Blues actually have no league win in five, with four draws and that narrow defeat to York last time down CH1. Three points tomorrow would be the perfect tonic.
Alfreton have also hit a below par run of form lately. Just one win in their last five with four defeats, they were flying high in the play-offs but now sit 10th in the table. However, a win for Billy Heath’s side tomorrow could send them as high as 5th, evidence of how tight it is at the top of the National League North
Make sure you come down and support the lads!
With the game being our nearest fixture to Remembrace Sunday, we will be paying tribute pre-match – and we are delighted to announce that soldiers from the Mercian Regiment will be with us.
