CHESTER FC 0, OLDHAM ATHLETIC 1.
Rhys Turner’s matchwinning goal ensured Oldham Athletic made a winning start to their pre-season build up with victory at Chester City.
The teenage striker struck with 18 minutes to ensure it was a winning bow for new manager Darren Kelly.
It was a game in which both sides, playing their first warm-up matches, lacked match sharpness which was only to be expected.
New summer signing Jake Cassidy and Danny Philliskirk had early chances for Latics.
It was all change at the break as Kelly made nine changes with only Lee Croft and Timothee Dieng remaining on the pitch as the players were eased back into competitive action.
For all the home side’ s domination in the second half, it was Latics that took the lead after 72 minutes Rhys Turner.
The 19-year-old was set up by Rhys Murphy and he took the ball past the home goalkeeper and placed it into the empty goal to put Latics ahead with the decisive goal.
