Match Preview - Chester FC v Bury AFC

The Blues are back at the Deva for the second successive Saturday, as fellow fan-owned club Bury AFC visit CH1.

Last weekend saw a 2-0 defeat to EFL side Sheffield Wednesday, but it was an extremely positive workout against a team three leagues above the Seals.

A young Chester XI then went to Clitheroe on the Sunday and won 1-0 – with Ethan Cartwright bagging the winner.

Bury reformed in 2019 and ply their trade in the North West Counties Division One North. Two weeks ago, they drew 1-1 away at another supporter-owned club in FC United of Manchester.
