Cestrian Alexandra v Blacon Youth Club reserves

6pm  14 August 2017

Chester and Wirral League, Division One
Cestrian Alexandra 3 Blacon Youth Club reserves 3 (att 16)

First time I've watched football in the Chester and Wirral League, but as the pool of available new grounds to visit in the north west gets ever shallower it was only a matter of time.

Cestrian Alexandra is a club with a long history, and these days are one of several clubs who play home games at the Cheshire County Sports Club in Chester. The main football ground here is home to West Cheshire League Upton AA, but beyond their enclosed ground is a playing field with a couple of grass pitches.

Goals seem to be following me wherever I go at the moment, and after a slow start this turned into another entertaining goal-filled game. Cestrian were second best in the first half, and despite taking the lead they conceded twice in a minute to trail 2-1 at half time.

The home side levelled in a better second half performance, before a third goal for Blacon took the wind out of their sails. As heavy rain fell towards the end of the match Cestrian's efforts were rewarded with a late equaliser.
