DAGENHAM and Redbridge will visit KitKat Crescent having taken ten points from a possible 12.

The Essex club drew 1-1 at play-off hopefuls Exeter on Tuesday night after a hat-trick of victories against Crawley Town (1-0), Woking (4-2) and Burton Albion (3-1).

Chris Moore will be a threat to the Minstermen, having plundered 20 goals this season while 18-year-old left-back Scott Griffiths, picked up from Ryman League outfit Aveley, continues to attract interest from Leeds United, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Reading. Dagenham are expected to name the same side that earned a point in Devon.
