Holleran is excited by the visit of Chester
The Blues have added star quality with the appointment of former Salford joint-managers Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley in the summer.
After an uncertain start the duo, who took Salford to the Conference North title, have lifted Chester to within a point of top spot and Brakes boss Paul Holleran says it should be another occasion to relish.

“They’re on a good run and it will be a tough game. But we’re looking forward to it on the back of the Nuneaton performance.
“You always look forward to clubs like Chester visiting, former League clubs.
“We’ll need to maintain the levels we reached at Nuneaton as our home form has dipped recently.”

The loss of Matty Stenson means Holleran is still in the market for an attacking reinforcements but he has been impressed with the way Bishop has hit the ground running on his return to the side.
“Colby is in great condition,” he added. “He’s in a good place, both mentally and physically.”
