MATCH PREVIEW | Chester vs Banbury United
A productive seven days on the road have seen the Blues climb to third, and they will look to keep building this weekend against Banbury United.
Trips to Gloucester City, Bradford (PA) and Hereford yielded a superb return of seven points, with back-to-back 2-1 victories seeing Calum McIntyre’s men jump above Scarborough and Brackley to sit third in the National League North table.
The points were shared when the two teams last met back in November. Kurt Willoughby opened the scoring with a penalty, before Anthony Dudley popped up with two minutes to play to ensure the game finished level.
Banbury United sit 12th in the table, but have as many as four games in hand on those above them, and will be hoping to make a late charge towards the play-off places.
Kick off on Saturday is 3pm.
