   This week turned out to be a tough one to predict, only one home win 
After last week I was pretty confident of getting a result at home against Lymm, but they spoiled our party, and spoiled it well.

Lymm controlled the game from start to finish and were consistent throughout.  Everything we threw at them they soaked it up and then punished us with their counter attack.  The first half ended with the visitors 41-5 ahead - there was only ever going to be one winner after that.

The second half yielded two converted tries for Chester, but the losing bonus proved elusive.  Though we finally managed to break Lymm's defense our own seemed to falter.  Countless missed tackles kept possession with the visitors and limited Chester's chance to mount a comeback.

After watching the warm-up before the game it didn't really come as much of a surprise to see Lymm take the spoils.  They looked fit and well-drilled and this continued into the match proper.
