Half time: Chester 0 Dag & Red 0

Blues the better side but lack a cutting edge.

Added time

One additional minute.

Great effort

Akintude skips his man and fires a powerful effort from 20 yards that Cousins beats away. Bell too slow to react.

Unlucky

Unlucky from Akintunde. Takes a Halls ball forward superbly before dragging shot wide from 16 yards.

Attendance

Crowd of 1,638 here today.

Effort

Daggers’ Corey Whitely sends a rasping 25 yarder high and wide.

Better side

Chester the better of the two sides so far and offering the most going forward. Daggers sluggish.

All hail

The skies have opened and the hail is teeming down.

Blocked

Decent Chester move sees James find Rainey on the right and his low cross is stabbed goalwards by Hannah but his effort cannons away off Robson.
