Match Preview

Chester begin life under Will Owen and their defence of the ECB Cheshire Premier League title with a trip to South Manchester.

A happy hunting ground in both cup and league last year, Chester's new look side go to Nick Anderson's Didsbury.

There's a debut behind the stumps for Alex Nash, signed in the Winter from Weaverham, and returns for Matt Griffiths and Andy Metcalf - the latter back in the fold after a stint at Barrow.

Owen goes for experience too with the oft-retired Alex Kegg and wily Robin Fisher in the bowling ranks.
