GRANT SHENTON: Had very little to do but his distribution and kicking helped a solid defensive performance. 6/10

JON MORAN: Played his part in an excellent defensive display. 6

SIMON GRAND: Helped ensure Chorley’s dangerous Marcus Carver never got a sniff of goal. 6

SCOTT BURTON: Marshalled affairs well and good to see the captain return. 6

STEVEN HOWSON: Got stuck in as Chester gained control of the midfield. 6

DANIEL MOONEY: A bit quiet but did well enough. 6

GARY STOPFORTH: A close run thing for man of the match with an excellent all round display. 7

MATTY HUGHES: Always lively and available and his direct running won some useful free-kicks. 6

IWAN MURRAY: Struggled against Chorley’s big side but showed some nice touches. 5

CRAIG MAHON: Never stopped running and was a constant threat down the left. 8

SUBS: DEANE SMALLEY: Almost scored as soon as he came on and was a real handful in the closing stages. 7
