Of course, there are no touch judges at this level and West finished the game baffled at some of the decision including the sin-binning of Tim Sawyer in the first half and Jamie Connolly in the second.
We were frequently punished for talking to the ref and further added to our problems ny losing too many of our put-ins.
That first half try was scored by Darren Thomas and we were good for the lead and should have added more scores.
But Chester scored a try straight from the second half kick off and the game degenerated with a number of off the ball incidents. It was close until fifteen minutes from time when Connolly got sin binned and they ran in four tries.
A dispirited set of West supporteres headed back across the M62 but the word is the the scorleine flattered the home side.
