PREVIEW | Chester vs Atherton Collieries

    Chester’s final home pre-season friendly brings Atherton Collieries to the Deva Stadium.

    Calum McIntyre’s side made it back to back friendly wins in the past seven days with victories over Stalybridge Celtic and Runcorn Linnets.

    New striker Kurt Willoughby has caught the eye, scoring the winning goal in both encounters.

    With the National League North season edging ever closer, the Blues boss has two games left to run the rule over his side before the league campaign kicks in.

    Atherton Collieries finished 19th in the Northern Premier League last term, four points below our opponents from seven days prior in Stalybridge.

    Kick off is 7.45pm on Tuesday evening.
