ALBION AGONY AS BLUES CRUISE

CHESTER left it late to break Tadcaster Albion hearts after the club, playing in the shadow of the John Smith’s Brewery, had led for half an hour.

Chester boss Calum McIntyre told The NLP: “I was disappointed with the first half. We took our chances in the second half. But I did think we deserved to win the game.”

After a sterile opening 19 minutes, Joe Crosby won a challenge inside his own half and made a mazy run into the Chester box. Under pressure, he slid a pass into the path of Kieran Greenway, who beat Wyll Stanway with a confident shot into the bottom corner.

Chester’s first response was a header from Charlie Caton, but it bounced wide of the far post.
