SIMON GRAND: Unable to support Mahon as much as usual on the left but defended well. 7

GARY STOPFORTH: Covered every blade of grass for the cause in another all-action display. 8

DAN MOONEY: Lively and showed good awareness. 7

MATTY HUGHES: Offered a strong focal point for the Blues attacks prior to his injury before the interval. 8

CRAIG MAHON: Influence waned as the game went on but was the heartbeat of Chester’s early attacks. 8
