Weymouth : National League : Halifax & Dagenham

 I turned on to the match against Dagenham after watching something else on television and I found my boys losing 2-0 but within minutes Josh McQuoid had scored a goal to halve the deficit. I was just beginning to think I was a lucky omen as my Weymouth lads chased for the equaliser. The Halifax goal received a pounding but I realised that it was because the defence had abandoned their stations when Halifax broke away and scored three more goals as the game headed for a close. Defeats at home by 5 goals to 1 are relegation form and sadly Weymouth are now in the relegation places.

AND

From the BBC Sport website:

Mitch Brundle grabbed a double as Dagenham & Redbridge came from behind to beat 10-man Weymouth and move four points clear of the National League relegation zone.

The hosts took the lead in the 14th minute when Josh McQuoid converted from close range after a mistake from goalkeeper Elliot Justham.

But the Daggers responded in style, with Brundle finding the top corner in the 26th minute before Paul McCallum completed the turnaround a minute later by tapping in Will Wright's cross at the back post.

Struggling Weymouth's task became even harder three minutes before half-time as Josh Wakefield was sent off for a late challenge on Darren McQueen.

Brundle added his second and Dagenham's third from the penalty spot in the 71st minute after Abu Ogogo was fouled in the box.

Jake McCarthy gave Weymouth hope with seven minutes remaining, heading in from a corner, but Dagenham held on to secure a first win in four matches.
