CHESTER are keen to renew their promotion challenge in National Three North League in 2012 after a somewhat disappointing last few weeks of the current year.
The Hare Lane side are well in contention just two points behind second-placed Rossendale who are in turn nine points adrift of leaders Darlington Mowden Park.
Chester were not really sorry their local derby at Birkenhead Park on Saturday was a weather casualty as they were still missing key players through injury.
A league break now until January 7 will give their walking wounded plenty of time to recover and they should be ready to step out with all guns blazing at home to Altrincham Kersal in their next engagement.
