LAINTON SAVES DENY DAGGERS

WREXHAM and Dagenham had to settle for a share of the spoils at a windswept Racecourse yesterday as the weather prevailed against any hopes of a skilful and fast-flowing contest.

Chances were at a premium as the players struggled to cope and neither side had much to shout about in a scrappy first half heavily influenced by that strong, swirling wind that was at Wrexham’s back from the start. But the conditions did few favours for the Dragons, who often struggled to string more than two passes together, while the visitors fared slightly better, only to find their final pass difficult to come by.

Nevertheless, Wrexham manager Dean Keates was satisfied by his team’s performance and with a point.
