Chester City (U18) 1 - 0 Port Vale (U18)

I arrived at Airbus, Broughton at 8:35am for a 10:30am kick-off. My two assistants, Daniel Hitchell and Lauren Bridge arrived 15 minutes later at 8:50am. All of us were present very nice and early which better helped to plan the game as a team.

Following a minute silence in memory of Alan Ball, Chester City kicked-off.

Chester City were the better side, but the Port Vale goalkeeper was having a first class game, pulling off some point blank and far reaching saves. He definitely, for me, was the man of the match and kept the score down.

However, in the 80th minute, following a Chester City corner and one clearance, the second shot settled in the back of the Port Vale net.

Chester City continued to apply the pressure during the last ten minutes which was equally well defended by Port Vale.

Final score 1 -0 to Chester City.


Unless I pick up an unscheduled appointment, that was my last game of this season. Looking forward to the well earned rest.
