Dagenham & Redbridge 1 Leyton Orient 0
A LAST-MINUTE goal from Scott Griffiths gave Daggers a 1-0 victory over Leyton Orient on Saturday, writes MIKE SIMMONDS.
Griffiths was left unmarked at the death to head home Solomon Taiwo's corner and give the hosts what was a deserved victory.
Paul Benson had come close for Daggers, hitting the post from an acute angle, while Mark Arber also put a header wide.
Orient threatened sporadically, as Sean Thornton somehow volleyed wide from a yard, while JJ Melligan blasted off target.
Daggers: Tony Roberts, Abu Ogogo, Scott Griffiths, Mark Arber, Will Antwi (Scott Doe 76), Danny Green (Howard Newton 84), Stuart Thurgood, Solomon Taiwo, Peter Gain (Graeme Montgomery 76), Paul Benson (Josh Scott 76), Jon Nurse.
