10.30am 10 December 2011
Football League Youth Alliance, South East Conference
Dagenham & Redbridge U18 0 Southend United U18 0 (att 38)
My run of games without seeing a goalless draw came to an end after 87, dating back to May. The final score was easy to predict as the game progressed, with neither side looking likely in front of goal. Southend came closest, twice hitting the crossbar, but a draw was a fair result in a largely uninspiring game.
The Daggers youth team venue was one I'd always been hesitant about visiting. The Sanofi-Aventis Sports Ground is also used by M&B Club in the Essex Olympian League, and generally I prefer to "tick" a ground by seeing the main host club play.
Turns out Dagenham & Redbridge use the annex, separated from the main sports ground by a large car park. I considered staying to watch M&B play on the main ground, but decided it was too much time to kill before their 2pm kick off, despite the inviting clubhouse, so I'll return for an M&B game at a later date.
Ground no 3,680
