Altrincham's Vanarama National League campaign hit a setback as they lost 3-1 to Dagenham and Redbridge. The match saw both teams share two goals before the break, with Ryan Hill converting a penalty for Dagenham and Regan Linney scoring from the spot for Altrincham. After the break, Chris Conn-Clarke hit the post for Altrincham, but Josh Rees put Dagenham ahead from close range on the hour. Harry Phipps then secured victory for the home team five minutes later. The defeat will be a disappointment for Altrincham, who had been looking to build on recent results. Dagenham's win was sealed by the second-half performances of Rees and Phipps, who made the difference in the match. Altrincham will look to bounce back from this loss in their next fixture. The team's performance was not helped by the foul on Tom Eastman, which led to Dagenham's opening goal. And despite Linney's equalizing penalty, Altrincham were unable to capitalize on their chances. So the focus will now be on the next match, where Altrincham will aim to get back to winning ways.
