Chester got off to the worst possible start conceding a goal in the first minute of play. Scott Canham made a run down the left hand side for Woking and comfortably beat Phil Bolland. He passed the ball through to Steve Ferguson who slotted it home from close range into the bottom left hand corner of the net.

Danny Williams had a shot at goal for Chester in the eighth minute after some good work down the left by Daryl Clare but his shot was well wide of the left hand post.

In the 9th minute Smith played a great ball through to Darryn Stamp who was making a run through midfield.  With the goalkeeper advancing he went for the lob but missed the target and the ball went out for a goal kick.

In the 13th minute Kevin McIntyre played a fantastic cross to the far post forcing Chris Giles to concede a corner. Unfortunately Woking were first to the ball and it was cleared upfield without danger.

Alex Smith won a corner in the 18th minute after a good ball from Carden. Again though it was played to the back of the box and cleared away by the alert Woking defence.

Chester kept up the sustained pressure throughout this period but found themselves up against a well organised Woking side who looked more determined to keep the Blues at bay than make any attacking runs themselves.

McIntyre again was the instigator of a good Chester chance in the 31st with another good ball into the Woking goal area but was beaten this time by the goalkeeper punching the ball away.

Chris Giles had a rare shot at goal for Woking in the 39th minute from the right hand channel but his acute shot went sailing high over the crossbar.

In the 41st minute Danny Williams won a loose ball in the centre of the field and made a run with it down the right hand channel.  He played a cross into Darryn Stamp who was advancing into the goal area but Stamp's shot went high over the crossbar, but a great chance from nothing.

Chris Giles conceded another corner to Chester in the 44th minute.  Scott Guyett got on the end of the corner but his first touch kick went wide right of the goal.

So almost total dominance by the Blues in the first half but they go in a goal down and with it all to do in the second half.

In the 49th minute Chester had another great chance when Smith played a good ball through to Daryl Clare on the left hand side of the box. It went just wide of the left hand post but the Blues continued to show their intentions.

Steve Ferguson made a good run for Woking in the 53rd but after jinking his way through midfield his shot was wide of the left hand post with Turner in attendance.

The game entered a quiet midfield scrap at this point with Chester still with the upper hand on possession. Michael Twiss came on for Alex Smith in the 68th minute to try and turn things around.

In the 70th minute Chester won a corner and McIntyre played it into the box at the near side.  Michael Twiss got a header on the end of the cross but could not direct it into the net and it went marginally over for a goal kick.

Twiss earned another corner for Chester in the 74th minute but it was cleared away twice by the Woking defence before ending back up in midfield.

As the game continued it's monotonous phase Chsester got the equaliser from a corner. Kevin McIntyre took the corner and played it to the far post where Danny Collins rose above the crowd to header it accurately into the top corner of the net for a much deserved equaliser.

Its getting toward the end.  Twissy gets the ball almost on the half way line. LOB! It's in Isaac Newtons hands now. GOOOALLL! Chester 2-1 up and you will not see a better goal than that. Michael Twiss puts Chester in the lead with a superb solo effort and the Mill Hotel goes wild.

Woking nearly equalised in the 90th minute but sighs of relief all round. Iain Turner made a terrific save at the end of a goalmouth scramble.

Fantastic. We deserved that. We got it. Much credit to Michael Twiss for THAT GOAL but Deva TXT man of the match award goes to Kevin McIntyre for his hard work throughtout the game. ARE YOU A BELIEVER YET? THIS IS OUR SEASON.  Good evening from the Mill Hotel, Chester CH1.
