A familiar rivalry was renewed on Sunday 19th July 2015 when Tranmere Rovers visited Chester for a pre-season friendly. No, not the first teams, this was the walking football version, and we had been invited to take part in their Open Day celebrations. Unfortunately Chester did not have a goalkeeper so immediately went into the emergency loan market to bring in experienced keeper Ron Turner from Tranmere Rovers Walking Football. (Well they made us an offer of 48p which we couldn't refuse). It was a very well fought 6-a-side game in which both sides created lots of chances. However the final outcome was a win for Chester by the odd goal in nine. TRWF can again be proud of their achievements so far in this new format of the Beautiful Game. Many thanks go to Chester FC and particularly Steph for their hospitality and friendliness both before, during & after the game. The Open Day was a credit to Chester FC.
May the rivalry long continue.
