Chester City 0 - 1 Southport
This was my first football match since I got back from
Thailand and Chester's fifth of the season. They saved their worst performance
of the season so far to mark my return to watching them (typical). I took my
camera along and got a few good pictures. Unfortunately the best "action
shot" is of Southport scoring a penalty.

| Just about to kick off in this pic. | What a picture! It's just a shame that Southport are scoring, not Chester. |

| After the game it's back to the pub. I hope you like my new Croatia football shirt. In the evening me and Niki went back to the pub to watch England against France on the big screen telly. Stuey had stayed in the pub all evening and was bladdered. He let the world know his opinion of Michael Owen. Then Owen scored the England equaliser. It didn't shut him up though. |
