Chester City Blue Square Premier News Update
Following the eventual start to their 2009-2010 Blue Square Premier campaign, Chester City move on from two defeats with more moves to shore up the squad.Â
With the search for new players put on hold during the turbulent weeks while the Conference and the FA sorted out the Blues’ affiliation, Friday 21st August saw Manager Mick Wadsworth swoop for three loan signings.
Chester City FC Â have signed Burnley teenagers Adam Kay and Chris Lynch, as well as Oldham’s Lewis Alessandra.
Midfielder Kay, 19, and defender Lynch, 18, have both joined Chester on loan until January, with Wadsworth agreeing an initial month-long deal with forward Alessandra, 20.
The Oldham player had been a target pre-season, but any move to the Deva Stadium had to be put on hold when City’s future was placed in doubt. “We had Lewis, then we lost him,” said Wadsworth. “Now we’ve got him back for at least a month.”
“And Owen Coyle at Burnley has been very helpful by allowing us to take Chris Lynch, a centre-back, and Adam Kay, a really talented midfielder.
“We’ll have a look at those and see how they do.”
Experienced striker Greg Blundell began training with the squad this week and, once his signing has been completed, will bring the number of new players to nine since Wadsworth joined in July. South American Fabian Yantorno is also expected to begin training soon.
Luton Town v Chester City FC: Blue Square Premier Result
Saturday 22nd August 2009
Luton Town 0 – 0 Chester City
Chester’s first clean sheet since April earned them their first point in this season’s Blue Square Premier in a match they may have well won.
Luton, who came down from League 2 alongside Chester City this year, had so far picked up 10 points out of a maximum 12 from their opening four matches, while their visitors had conceded eight goals in two games.
All three of Mick Wadsworth’s recent loan signings played, with Chris Lynch playing particularly well. City outplayed the Hatters for a great deal of the game, and certainly looked the most likely to score, with Nick Chadwick forcing two saves from keeper Mark Tyler, as well as hitting the bar with a header.
Luton Town’s unhappy fans booed the home team off at the final whistle.Â
