Match Report by Rob Monger
It was a very uncomfortable first half for the
Urchins, not just for being hit for six but having to endure torrential rain
with it. It was certainly men against boys with Dagenham clearly taking an
early firm grip of the game going 3 goals up within 30 minutes. Paul
Benson netted twice and Matt Bodkin made it 3 before the introduction of Tony
Maynard who replaced Darren Brewer on 34 minutes. Maynard came close to
pulling a goal back a few minutes later after a long ball from a counter-attack
gave him the opportunity to lob Simon Overland in the Dagenham goal only to see
it dip just over the bar. But this was only a brief respite for our
defence as Sam Saunders, Tresor Kandol and Ram Marwa gave the home side an
ominous 6 goal lead at half time.
Changes were made at half
time. Referee Dave Axcell changed his sodden black shirt for a rather more
contemporary purple - but dry - version, but our much improved second half
performance was probably more due to Malcolm Dannie replacing Ayo Adeteyo and
keeper Lee Ward replacing Wiseman. Within a minute of the restart we
were awarded a penalty for a foul on Sam Williams which Danny Gill confidently
struck home. Ward made a great save from Benson to deny him his
hat-trick in the 50th minute after which Overland made an equally great save
from a fierce point blank volley from Danny Gill 5 minutes later. Lee Springer
scored our second goal on 66 minutes but 2 minutes later Benson headed in from
a free kick to finally complete his hat-trick and dispel the extremely faint
notion of some kind of remarkable comeback.
