IN A pulsating affair, Soccer Skills and Dagenham shared six goals and the points.

With both teams looking to finish the season off in style, the pace was unrelenting and the skill levels very high.

The visitors took the lead early on, but a freak goal from goalkeeper Danny Brett and then a great finish from Marco Ruffini, put the home team ahead. But back came Dagenham again to equalise just before half-time.

The second-half was just as exciting. Matthew Teh again put Soccer Skills ahead but Dagenham responded with a well taken goal.

The closing minutes saw Soccer Skills pour forward but just couldn’t get the winner, their football so richly deserved.
