Bracknell Town v Dagenham & Redbridge (12:30 BST)
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sport
This weekend Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sport’s selected FA Cup tie sees seventh tier Bracknell Town against National League Dagenham & Redbridge.
Dagenham aren’t in the best of form , with pressure building on manager and former striker Ben Strevens following a run that has brought just three points from the last eight league games. It’s seven years since the club returned to the National League after spending 2007-2016 in the EFL.
Their best FA Cup run came as a non-league side in 2003, when they reached the fourth round.
Bracknell actually play over in Sandhurst, sharing a stadium with that particular Berkshire-based team. They have twice made it through to the FA Cup first round, once in 2000 and again last year. They held their own for an hour against League One Ipswich, before superior fitness and experience got the better of them, with the game ending 3-0.
The joint management team of Jamie McClurg and Carl Withers also took them to a play-off final, narrowly missing out on promotion to National League South to Truro City.
