Davies to decide on keeper deal

Chester City manager Simon Davies will monitor the progress of goalkeeper Chris Sanna throughout pre-season before deciding on whether to keep him.

Davies told BBC Radio Merseyside he was reasonably happy with the trialist's performance in the 2-2 draw against Southport on Tuesday night.

"He did well," said Davies. "He made good decisions, he came out and took crosses so we'll keep an open mind.

"We'll have a look throughout pre-season and see how it goes."

Sanna played 45 minutes of Chester's opening pre-season game at Southport's Haig Avenue.

He did concede a penalty, a decision which Davies felt was was harsh. But the spot-kick was fired wide and Sanna kept a clean sheet in his first-half appearance.

The game ended 2-2, goals from Lawrence Wilson and Paul McManus putting City ahead, only for the Sandgrounders to come back and claim a draw.

John Danby, who ended last term in great form, has not missed a game in his two seasons at the Deva and id due to start the new campaign as City's first-choice No 1.
