FULL TIME: Defeat in the North West

Walker clears the bar by a couple of feet from the free-kick, and that's the final whistle...

The corner is cleared, Piggott is fouled, a Bucks free-kick, central and 25 yards out...

The Bucks get a corner on the left, drinking in the last chance saloon here...

Bucks substitution.

ON: Ola Lawal. OFF: Matty Stenson.

Seals booking.

Fin Roberts fouls Cawthorne, puts the ball into the net after the whistle, and he's booked for timewasting.

We'll play a minimum of SIX additional minutes.

We've had a stoppage, DAH running through and evades a challenge, his shot is blocked and although the Bucks recycle it and George finds the net, play was halted for Stenson being down injured on the six-yard line.

Bucks dismissal.

Ammar Dyer raises his hands to Tom Davies, who goes down, and as he's already on a yellow card there's no way he's getting away with that, he's shown a second yellow and then a red card.

Gracey makes a catch from Roberts' cross from the right and kicks clear quickly, can the Bucks find a way back in this one?

Chester substitute Fin Roberts almost makes the Bucks suffer, he's fastest to a ball between Cawthorne and Gracey and although his effort is blocked, he's on his feet and rolls the ball across the face of the goal and wide.

The Seals regain the lead.

The corner from the right finds Phil Croker unmarked and moving towards the ball, he guides a header in past Gracey's right hand.

The Bucks concede a corner rather cheaply on the left...

Stenson holds the ball up well, loses it and the Bucks then regain it and thread George in on the left of the box, his initial shot is blocked, Jones is sat down and manages to regain control of the loose ball.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Adan George. OFF: Jordan Cranston.

Bucks booking.

Jordan Cranston yellow-carded for a foul.

The Bucks are level - a big OG but we don't care!

Declan Weeks' sliced attempt to clear drops over the bar to earn a corner and from the delivery, Weeks then heads it past his own keeper, we're level!

The Seals lead.

Too simple for the hosts, a corner won by Woods off Cranston was taken by Woods and headed back towards Mottley-Henry on the edge of the six-yard box; he's unmarked and swivels to fire a left-footer high over Gracey to open the scoring.

Today's attendance: 2,935.

Thank you for your support for the Bucks today, a fabulous 582 away fans here at the Deva.

Seals substitution.

ON; Connor Woods. OFF: Hayden Carson.

The corner from the left swings in and hits Jones' crossbar, play has already been halted for a foul on Jones.

The corner from the right is flicked on and it arrives just too high and too quickly for Stenson, who ends up in the net with his head on hands. Another corner on the way...

The Bucks benefit from a poor Carson header and they switch the ball right for Dyer to cut in and have a shot deflected out for a corner.

The Seals overcomplicate things a bit and a foot in allows DAH to escape, he covers the ground into the Seals' half but Lewis Leigh slides in and takes the ball off Dylan, who felt he was fouled, nothing given.

Cawthorne is bumped off the ball by Shrimpton as the two come together on the left of the box. No foul by either man, the Bucks clear.

Cawthorne attacks the corner from the right but the Bucks can't force a genuine attempt on the goal.

Terrific from DAH to retain possession after his attempted break from halfway was held up, the Bucks quickly switch right to Meddows and he gets into the box and earns a corner.

Josh Gracey makes a safe catch, the corner delivered too close to the Northern Irishman.

An early Seals' corner on the right...

We're back in progress...

No substitutions made by either manager at the interval.

HALF TIME: Level at the Deva.

Bucks booking.

Ammar Dyer gets a yellow card for protesting that his clearance came off a Chester man and shouldn't have been a Seals' attacking throw.

Seals booking.

Declan Weeks, the Seals' captain, is now also shown a yellow card, presumably harking back to that offside call.

The ball is in the Bucks' net from Burgess after Shrimpton is played in behind the defence on the Seals' left, but an offside flag will rule that out.

Mottley-Henry booked for Chester, he throws his arms and elbows back, trying to rid himself of Cranston's attentions, and Jordan goes down to win a free-kick.

Cawthorne meets the corner delivery from the right but can't direct it and the ball rises and then drops over the crossbar.

The Seals' fans feel there's a foul by Fletcher, it's not given and the Bucks counterattack through Walker, who twists and turns in the box and sees his low right-footer blocked by the right foot of Jones for a corner.

The Bucks are getting some opportunities to attack in transition and DAH does superbly to dance through the attentions of three Seals and he's off towards goal. Dylan cuts inside, Stenson and Meddows are in support, but he overruns the ball and loses it.

Dyer makes a really good surge towards the box, once again in a central position, as he likes to do, but I think he felt Walker would shoot and didn't go for Remi's return pass, Jones plunges out to hold at his feet.

The corner brings a header goalwards that Gracey pushes away as the base of his right post, Davies recovers it but Fletcher clears.

Mottley-Henry's cross from the left looks as though it may go out, but stays in and the Bucks have to get something in the way of Michael Kelly's header to concede a corner.

The corner from the left is headed partially away by Stenson but into the air and the swirling wind. Dylan Mottley-Henry nods the ball goalwards as it drops, Gracey saves to his l;eft.

Lewis Leigh's deflected right-foot shot, moving back onto his right, 20 yards from goal, earns a corner to Gracey's left.

The Seals defend the corner successfully.

Dylan Allen-Hadley's run insode from the left earns a corner.

Remi Walker sees his shot saved by Jones, striking first-time from just over 18 yards after Dyer moves in from the right and Cranston steps over his pass.

Davies has rejoined the game after treatment.

We have a stoppage, the Seals' Tom Davies went down injured in the Bucks' half and as the Bucks went forward he had to try and hobble back into the game.

The Seals' Scott Burgess sends a shot high to Gracey's top right, but it's rising and clears the bar. That effort came from about 20-25 yards, closer than the range Burgess scored at Curzon Ashton from.

Gracey makes a catch from Tom Davies' ball down the centre from his own half, I don't think Davies intended that.

Josh Gracey makes a couple of comfortable claims from a cross and also a long ball than Fin Shrimpton gaves chase to.

The corner brings no threat on the Chester goal.

Chester's Hayden Carson loses possession, joining the play, and the Bucks counterattack through Jamie Meddows. His ball behind the defence sends Matty Stenson running in, and his shot is blocked by keeper Bobby Jones' lehs for a corner.

We've a stoppage for treatment for Oliver Cawthorne, a bang in the face for Oliver but he'll be OK to resume.

The Bucks are having a bit more of the early possession, but they've created no goal threat so far.

We're in progress at the Deva Stadium...
