Digger Dagger Matchday

Wow. Wow. Wow! It was really 6: 6-1 to The Mighty Daggers. I am still stunned by not only the result but the whole performance as we controlled the game throughout. People can say what they want about the recruitment in the summer, but this week some amazing players have been brought to Victoria Road.  Firstly, Ben House, as on his debut he certainly delivered; talk about instant impact y’know and that was it.

The second was inside the box and he completely fooled the Shots defenders by using his top football brain. With the knowledge that Luque was behind him the new number 24 turned his back

Minihan was identified as a threat early on but Luque did well to block his cross for a corner. Another corner followed after a deflected shot went behind but it was headed harmlessly over by the hosts.  The ball flew into the Daggers dugout and Glen Johnson got the touch. The goalkeeping coach, who like all, expressed his delight on the contract extension of Elliot Ju
