The Rebels take all five mini games as the larger Chester squad rotate numbers to give everyone a game.

Game one was a routine affair for the Rebels with Josh Barnard opening the scoring early in the match.

The centre bulwark partnership of Oliver Cooper and Max Walkington provided a tough barrier for Chester and their powerful tackling meant that the seven tackle count was regularly reached and possession ceded to Warrington.

Harrison Dillon was a highly effective half-back and the Rebels looked well-drilled as Harrison retrieved the ball and distributed it to oncoming runners.

Jacob Lewis-Dalton stretched the lead with a typical run off a Harrison pass and when Jack McKean showed a clean pair of heels to the defence the result was a foregone conclusion.

Chester did not fade away though, a powerful driving move was finished with a clever outstretched arm to ground the ball despite the close attention of the 'Warrington wall'.

Harrison however had the last word with a neat break way try.

Adam Lewis put in a huge tackling stint in Game two and along with Sam Hanna and Ruari Byrne tackled Chester off the park and impressively kept a completely clean scoresheet.

The repeated tackling also meant turnover ball, which unfortunately for Chester, was given to Ben Lomax and Sam Roberts.

Ben has been starved of ball in recent weeks so when he was given the ball and a yard of space the result was inevitable.

It was also inevitable that Sam was only going to stop running if his legs were taken away, this was beyond the Chester defence so Sam helped himself to two tries.

Ryan Edwards has come back from Florida with fire in his belly and played a major role in the passing game showing great vision to distribute the ball brilliantly. Of course, Ryan still likes to score though and opened the scoring in Game three with a strong run to the corner flag.

Chester were unaccustomed to the seven tackle game so the match moved to continuous possession. This meant for a tighter game but with offensive tackling as usual from Josh Barnard and Jack McKean, turnover ball was in regular supply and both super-tacklers benefited with Josh going over the line twice.

Ben Harrison had his best tackling match of the year showing excellent technique against bigger opponents and Ollie Bridges, who revels in the driving game, kept his legs pumping and made effective yardage once again.

Game four was the Sam Roberts show. Despite numerous opportunities to pass the ball to his team mates Sam had a serious case of whitewash fever and only saved himself from a serious ticking off by actually converting his four possessions into tries.

Sam was only able to score though because of the copious ball won in the tackle, Sam Hanna in particular had a strong tackling game until taking a man down and kneeling on his studs which us old hands know is a killer!

Ryan was again instrumental in the management of the final game. He distributed the ball and opened the scoring.

Jacob Sollory-Park, much improved over the last two weeks (Jacob does NOT like the cold!), went on some winding runs but it was a pass from Ryan that gave Jacob a clear line of sight which he followed and scored in the corner.

On the final whistle Chester were pressing and hopes of a consolation try were high on the last play of the match, unfortunately, the winger dropped the ball feet from the line, and worse, he dropped it at Ben Lomax's toes...a classic full length of the pitch try from the Appleton Flyer finished off the fixture in style.
