Goals in the final minute of the first half and deep into injury time gave the City a deserved point from their trip to promotion seeking Chester City The Grecians showed a great battling spirit as they extended their unbeaten run to four matches. Chester took the lead in the 23rd minute through Chris Priest, but it was al square at the break when Mark Came headed home a Darren Hughes free-kick to register a goal against his former club.

With a draw looking more and more likely, and with 5 minutes remaining. Nick Richardson's effort was going wide, but it hit Noel Blake and rebounded into the net. Stil City didn't give up, and after having a strong appeal for a penalty turned down, deep into injury time Mark Cooper scored the equaiser from close range following a well flighted Hughes comer
