Went back to Leiston yesterday having moved away in the summer, they were playing Dagenham and Redbridge 2 steps higher . After a slow start and falling behind early we settled into the game and subsequently equalised mid way through 2nd half. Now looked like we were the better team and piled on the pressure but couldn't find the 2nd. The heavens had now opened and I was drenched to the skin, Dagenham broke and scored a 2nd ,that knocked the stuffing out of us . 4th official put up 5 mins injury time and they scored a 3rd, time to head back to the car and get warm . Got home an hour later to find they'd scored 2 more in the dying minutes, obviously fitness told in the end but felt Leiston played very well for 75% of the game and matched their higher league opponents. Overall a decent game which the 5-1 scoreline flattered Dagenham. Glad to get back home to dry out .
