Danny previews the upcoming week, as well as looking at events that happened on this day for the week commencing 28th November.
THE WEEK AHEAD
Saturday – Dag & Red v TUFC @ Victoria Road (12.30 KO)
United head to east London more in hope than anticipation, at a place they rarely gain anything from. The Daggers have had a steady first half of the season, currently sitting in 9th place. Torquay will need to be at their very best and some, to get anything from this one.
Sunday – Poole Town Ladies v TUWFC @ Poole Town (14.00 KO)
After the disappointment of losing in the FA Cup, the Ladies’ return to league action in Dorset.
PLAYED FOR BOTH
Daggers current talisman Paul McCallum enjoyed a decent loan spell at Plainmoor back in 2013, scoring 3 goals in 6 appearances. Former Gulls’ defender Brian Saah made the switch from Devon to London back in 2013. Gavin Tomlin was on loan at Torquay from Dagenham back in 2011.
