Match Preview

Jan Deventer's 1st XV entertain National 2 North league leaders Hinckley RFC on Saturday. Unbeaten after 6 rounds, George Chuter's side will be looking forward to reversing the loss at a very muddy Hare Lane last December. Chester slogged out a 12-8 win with players from both sides unrecognisable after the first 10 minutes. How times change, with everyone looking forward to a fast game on the AGP.
Although unbeaten, Hinckley have conceded points too. On average nearly 24 points a game. Chester's defensive drills will need to be up to speed to ensure that the chances the offense get will get full value.
After a disappointing trip to Peterborough last week, the team will no doubt be looking for a reaction. This marks the start of a challenging 4 game burst against some top teams and the team will no doubt look to take confidence from the first few weeks of the season. The good start sees them currently lying 5th with a game in hand, following the Tynedale RFC postponement.
Kick Off at Hare Lane is slated for 3pm.
