The Shots take on Dagenham & Redbridge at the Chigwell Community Stadium on the final day of the National League season with it all still to play for.
Halifax currently occupy the final playoff position, but on goal difference only, with the Shots still right in with a chance of extending their season come full time against Dagenham & Redbridge tomorrow.
Their opposition on the final day is Dagenham & Redbridge. Also known as “the Daggers”, Dagenham have already secured their status as a National League club for the 2024/25 season.
LAST TIME OUT
The Shots were victors earlier in the season when the Daggers came to the EBB Stadium. Charlie Kendall gave the visiting Dagenham the lead, but Cian Harries levelled from the spot, but at 1-1 Shots took the advantage into the break, as Sam Ling got his marching orders following a challenge on Stokes just before half time.
Stokes then went on to give the Shots the lead, but Freddie Sears levelled the game again in the 67th minute. Aldershot would have the final say though, as Kwame Thomas scored in the dying moments to give Aldershot all three points.
SINCE WE MET
The Daggers run of form at the time in September meant they wouldn’t taste victory again until they faced Woking in late October, being eliminated from the FA Cup at the hands of Bracknell Town in the fourth qualifying round. The side also failed to go past the first hurdle in the FA Trophy, losing on penalties to Peterborough Sports.
Their recent run of form has seen them lose just twice since the start of March, to Gateshead and Woking, and also secure their safety in the National League.
