CFCW Match Report: Chester FC Women 2 -0 Macclesfield

Chester FC Women returned to winning ways yesterday, at the Deva Stadium, with an excellent victory over Macclesfield.

Emma Gray got the Blues up and running with a fantastic shot from 25 yards which flew into the top corner midway through the first half. Gray went close moments later as her shot flew just over the crossbar.

The scoreline stayed at 1-0 at half time courtesy of an excellent stop by Vienna Doherty towards the end of the 45.

Chester then got a penalty on 72 minutes after a Macclesfield defender was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the box.

Sophia O’Neill confidently stepped up and smashed the spot kick into the top corner to seal a fantastic victory over their Cheshire rivals.

The Blues now sit fifth and with games in hand will be hoping to break into the top three in the NWWRFL Division One South before the end of the campaign.
