Eastbourne Borough FC 1 – 1 Chester City
  (Atkin 5)                                (Blundell 45pen)

Chester City claim their third draw in four away games with a disputed penalty from Gregg Blundell.
 
It was Chester’s first-ever visit to Langney Sports Club, and Eastbourne took the lead inside five minutes when Andy Atkin punished a poor back-pass from Kevin Roberts.
 
But the visitors drew level in stoppage time at the end of the first-half, with Blundell taking a penalty that Neil Ashton had won.
 
Two unhappy Eastbourne players were booked for protesting the penalty decision.
 
City keeper John Danby made a couple of important saves in the first half, and Eastbourne almost won it when Atkin had a chance with ten minutes to go, but his shot hit the post.
 
Boss Mick Wadsworth told BBC Radio Merseyside that the going was tough: “What we need to do now is get some wins. It’s going to be tough but it’s a challenge we all relish.”

Chester City 2 – 1 Gateshead FC
(Blundell 19pen,      (Mackay 51)
   Chadwick 76)
 
A second penalty in as many games for Greg Blundell, as Chester clinch a second win for the season.
 
Gateshead defender James Curtis was sent off after he brought Blundell down in the box, and the resulting penalty put City ahead into the break.
 
Just five minutes after the restart, Gateshead’s Mike Mackay pulled the visitors equal, but Nick Chadwick headed in Neil Ashton’s cross to secure all three points, and was his fourth goal in seven games.
 
A relieved Mick Wadsworth said after the match: “We conjured up a super goal, it’s a great goal to win the game with.
“It was good bit of football. We went in and out, it was a good cross in and a good header by Chadwick.
“It was a really difficult header and he’s done really well.”

It could have been two goals by the break, but Charlie Griffin headed onto the post.
 
Nick Chadwick had a header saved, as Chester vainly tried to make chances to get back into the game, but it was all for nought.
