1 penalty each for Glover and Lord

Hinckley went down to their first defeat of 2017 in a Low scoring but intensity and interesting game at home to Chester.

The team selected saw just one change to the starting line up from Sedgley Park with Ben Avent coming into start for Alex Branson who moved to the bench. Dylan Weddle also came onto the bench replacing George Marsden.

The first halfs points scoring was completed after 4 mins with two penalties, Chester had the majority of ball but the home defence was strong, the visitors were on the right side of the penalty count and Glover was binned for the second week in a row on 32 minutes.

In the second half Hinckley dominated territory but handling errors where significant - a number of chances to score were missed and the only home points of the half were a Mark Lord penalty on 70 minutes.

However, with 5 to play, Chester won a scrum free kick and after a number of phases went over for the only try, which won the game.

Next week Hinckley visit the league leaders Caldy with a 2pm kick off
