Match Preview

With a huge month ahead, the 1st XI play Bowdon at Filkins Lane this Saturday.

Chester have the luxury of three home games in their final four fixtures following eight away games in the previous eleven weeks and will be looking to capitalise on this advantage with their lead at the top of the table cut to 12 points.

Bowdon are captained by former Lancashire all-rounder Simon Marshall and include former Glamorgan seam duo Chris Ashling and Dewi Penhryn-Jones.

Chester are at full strength and go into the fixture unchanged from the side set to face Alderley Edge last week. Lee Dixon still tops the league's batting charts and will be hoping to continue his rich vein of form.

With the end of the season approaching the game is set to start at midday with the match ball sponsored by 1st XI manager, Martin Huber.
