Match Preview – Dagenham & Redbridge (H) – Enterprise National League South
City will look to build on the thrilling midweek win at Slough Town on Saturday when Dagenham & Redbridge are the visitors to Cannon Clark Stadium @ Twerton Park.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS
Saturday will be the first league clash between the two since April 1996, when goals from Dominic Crookes and Ian Stringfellow were enough to give the Daggers a 2-0 Easter Monday win at Twerton. This was just two weeks after City had won 1-0 at Dagenham with Graham Withey on target. Dagenham were relegated that season but by 2010 found themselves in League One. They lasted a year at that level, and met City in November 2011 in the FA Cup 1st Round. A 1-1 draw at Victoria Road meant a replay at Twerton for a televised tie. Adam Connolly’s spectacular strike for the Romans cancelled out Brian Woodall’s header, but an extra-time brace from Jon Nurse proved enough for the higher division visitors. City haven’t played at that stage of the competition since.
