Altrincham FC 1 – 1 Chester City
(Little 22) (Wilkinson 52)
Chester City FC claimed their second point of the season in a physical away draw at Moss Lane.
Colin Little put the home team ahead halfway through the first half in his season debut.
But Chester levelled soon after the break, with a Ben Wilkinson header.
Nick Chadwick could have won the derby for Chester City late on in the game, but headed wide.
After the match, Manager Mick Wadsworth told BBC Radio Merseyside: “Second half we played a lot better but in the first half we were hit and miss.
“They got a bit of a rocket at half time as I thought we could have been better. But they responded in a very positive way.
“We’ve got a lot of young players but it will get there.”
Wadsworth added that he was confident that his side will improve as the season goes on.

The 3rd September saw one of the summer’s early signings being released without playing a game yet this season.
26-year-old Fabian Yantorno, the Uruguayan midfielder dogged by knee injury, had his contract cancelled by mutual consent.
However, Chester City are looking at another South American option: Argentinian midfielder Andreas Andro, who has played in two closed-door friendlies recently.
“He has impressed,” said Mick Wadsworth, “so we will look at him again over the next couple of weeks before making a decision on him.”

Chester City 2 – 0 Histon FC
(Roberts 44,
Chadwick 76)
Bottom club Chester finally record a win, six matches into the new season.
Histon did have the chance to take the lead, but Nathaniel Knight-Percival was denied by the woodwork.
Kevin Roberts then put City in front from a Neil Ashton corner, just a minute before half-time.
Nick Chadwick then made certain of all three points against fellow strugglers Histon a quarter hour from time.
A delighted Mick Wadsworth told BBC Radio Merseyside: “I think its great, it’s just good for everyone,
“It’s about time we did something which gives us a bit of cheer on a Saturday – we’ve been close a couple of times.”
Happy with his side’s defending, Wadsworth added: “At times I was really pleased as we played some clever and good football at times. We weren’t at our best on the ball but I think it’s difficult in a game like that.
“So I’m just delighted to win.”

Chester City 1 – 2 Tamworth FC
(Chadwick 77) (Tait 37, Smith 58)
Tamworth claim their first away win of the season in a game that saw nine bookings at the Deva Stadium.
Richard Tait opened the scoring for the visitors, and Nick Chadwick almost equalised immediately, but City went into the break a goal behind.
Chris Smith then doubled his team’s lead on the hour.
Nick Chadwick got one back for Chester FC, in an ill-tempered final quarter which saw six bookings in twenty minutes.
Chester finished strongly, but both Michael Lea and Adam Kay saw their shots go over the bar.
Mick Wadsworth played all the first-team players that were available, saying after the match: “It’s my job to try and find players and to try and get something to make us better,
“We have to pick ourselves up and just keep fighting. That’s all we can do.”
He told BBC Radio Merseyside: “The way [the players] approach the games and the way they come into work every day is fantastic and they get a lot of credit,
“It’s a long hard road and we haven’t had a lot of things going for us but all that has gone now. We are where we are and we have just go to fight.
“That’s what I’ll do and that’s what we’ll do. The team will get better and it has got better.”
