Surely nobody could have predicted Sunday’s playoff semi-final first leg result. With a history of tight games between the clubs – never have we been separated by more than 2 goals – it was hard to see this being any different. However, Dagenham turned in one of their best performances of the season to win by six goals and will go to Christie Park with every confidence.

This weekend the Daggers sealed their place in the League 2 playoffs with a 2-0 away win over Darlington. The Daggers took the lead through a Nurse header before Josh Scott sealed the points to set up a 2-legged semi-final with Morecambe. Here’s our photos from a great day.

The final home game of the season means awards time for clubs up and down the country. Win, lose or draw, it marks an opportunity to collectively take breath and recognise the achievements of the squad throughout the course of the season. This year’s top trio consisted of stalwart Tony Roberts who finished third, defender Scott Doe who came in second, and 2009/10′s top dog Mark Arber.

If the Daggers get the result they require next week at Darlington to claim a place in the playoffs, Graeme Montgomery will have played a massive part. Two successive home games, two injury-time winning goals and the Daggers now go into the final game of the season in 7th place. The last five games have seen us take an impressive 10 points to keep the season alive and here’s how it happened…

Another batch of five games has passed since our last look at the Daggers’ fortunes. You may remember we were four points short of the playoffs at that point, but now we find ourselves a further point back with only six games remaining. Not only that, loan expiry and injury has added to the difficulty of the task.

In recent years, Dagenham & Redbridge FC has been an active influence within the community, supporting programmes such as Kickz and the Thames Gateway Project, whilst also being vociferous in their support of organisations such as Kick It Out and Show Racism The Red Card. Last Saturday it went one step further with a ‘Sign Up Against Racism’ day. Here’s our take.

A rather hefty nine games have gone by since we last examined the ups and downs of the Daggers. Although we’ve touched on various aspects of different matches since the January defeat to Notts County, it is about time we took a more in-depth look at recent events on the field.
