CHESTER County Officers, new boys in Division Three of the Meller Braggins League, have adopted a policy of stability for this season.

There has been little movement either into or out of the club as they prepare to do battle with Chelford tomorrow at home.

Steve Johnson retains the first team captaincy for the fifth year running, while last year's championship-winning seconds skipper Alan Roberts will also continue in his role.

Confidence is high after a pre-season of good nets and strong, friendly performances, and the Upton side are aiming for a comfortable position in their first season in the higher level following promotion from the Cheshire Alliance.
