Posted on: Thu 22 Jul 2010

Final Score: Dagenham & Redbridge 1 Norwich 0

85th: Fox with free-kick just outside the penalty area after Josh Dawkin brought down. But the midfielder's effort gets the sting taken out of it from the wall and it dribbles through to Lewington who easily collects.

80th: Hoolahan plays the ball over the Daggers defence looking for Surman who had made the run, but the former Wolves' man is just deemed offside.

74th: Corner for City initially cleared but hooked back into the danger area by Russell Martin at the back post. Michael Nelson connects but his shot is straight at a Dagger's defender. There are calls for handball by the Canary fans behind the goal, but the referee waves play on.

Half-time: Dagenham & Redbridge 1 Norwich 0

37th: Daggers with free-kick on corner of box far right. Green lashes a shot goalwards but Ruddy gets his body well behind it and makes the save.

26th: City look to respond straight away. McNamee down the right and finds Lappin on the edge of the box. The Scot looks to side-foot home but it's deflected for a corner. Chris Martin has a header cleared off the line from the flag-kick.

24th: Daggers take the lead through Gavin Tomlin. The Daggers new striker latching on to a low Danny Green cross from the right, which wasn't cleared by the City defence.

23rd: Vincelot with dipping effort, which just clips top of goal netting and away to safety.

17th: City's first corner of the game won by Jackson. McNamee with a deep ball which is cleared initially but hooked in again by Ward. Chris Martin looks to make space for himself but the Daggers defence smother his shot and clear the danger.

14th: Another opportunity for the hosts. Tomlin again with the efffort but Ruddy makes a comfortable stop at his near post.

12th: Good chance for the Daggers - Tomlin twists and turns in the box and manages to get the ball under Ruddy, but the 'keeper has taken the sting out of the shot enough for Ward to clear off his line.

10th: City getting a bit more into the game. There's currently a stoppage for Tudur Jones to receive treatment after a clash of heads. He goes off field as he's bleeding. Play continues.

5th: The home side in possession at the moment - Vincelot has a dig from distance but it's comfortably over Ruddy's bar.

3rd: Dagenham have first corner of the game but it's well defended by Lappin on edge of the box.

Change to the starting line-up - Owain Tudur Jones replaces Zak Whitbread in defence, The Welshman now partnering Elliott Ward in the centre with George Francomb as right-back and Gordon as left-back.

Dagenham kick off the game - we're away!

New pro George Francomb comes into defence with his Academy colleague Remy Gordon. Defender Elliott Ward makes his first outing for City after picking up a knock in pre-season training.

Chris Martin and Simeon Jackson again start up front as they did against Stevenage on Tuesday night.

Dagenham & Redbridge: Lewington, Ogogo, McCrory 9Currie 60), Doe (Gwillam 60), Vincelot, Arber (c), Green (Bingham 60), Lewis (Montgomery 81), Benson (Antwi 60), Tomlin (Scott 71), Gain. Subs: Antwi, Wilkinson, Osborn, Wootton, Femi.

The last time the sides met was back in 2003 in the FA Cup, when a last-minute Zema Abbey goal was enough to beat then non-league Dagenham and put the Canaries through to the fifth round of the competition. City's Adam Drury is the only player that remain from that day.
