Neston Beavers 0 v Chester Beavers 4

Although Neston were defeated by their counterparts from Chester, there were a lot of positive things to be drawn from Saturdays game. Both sides looked evenly matched at the start, but it was Chester's slightly greater experience that gave them their victory, two of their goals coming from well worked short corners and a fourth when Neston were chasing a goal in the second half.
Throughout the game the Neston team did not give up and were attacking the Chester goal right up to the end. Neston's defence of Claudia Ziebart, making her debut in goal, James Chester, Richard Capes, Greg Chester and Alex Greenhalf stuck to their positions and defended well throughout the game. The midfield of James Fennah, Sam Dewey, Max Dutton and Peter Harrison competed well against a strong Chester midfield and got the ball up to Ollie Eastwood, Ben Crane and Scott Barry up front. Most of our better attacks came down the right and two good crosses from Ben Crane in the first half found their way to an unmarked James Fennah at the far post, his shots narrowly missing the goal. Chester were 2-0 up at half time.
A third goal early in the second half was followed by Nestons best period of attacking play and another cross from the right was defelected onto the post by James Fennah. It seemed only a matter of time before Neston would break their duck, but unfortunately the only other goal was a late effort by Chester on the counter attack.
Throughout the game Neston tried to pass the ball and built a number of good attacks and were very unlucky not to score. A goal or two are bound to come in the next game.
Man of the match - Sam Dewey for a hard working game in midfield.
