A Wayne Curtis double and a further strike from Aaron Taylor inside the opening 45 minutes sealed a convincing victory for the Shrimps, despite Laurence Wilson's consolation. McIlroy, who came into the game with only 14 fit players, said: "The past week or so has been soul destroying with so many injuries and I only had three fit players on the bench. "But the lads have shown superb togetherness and commitment and produced a superb display for us. We really are down to the bare bones but the boys that came in were magnificent. "Wayne Curtis was asked to play in a position he has never played before but scored two great goals and young Aaron Taylor showed once again what a good prospect he is with another well-taken striker's goal. "Chester put us under pressure in the second half but overall we defended well and I was delighted with the win."
