Dagenham & Redbridge v Wrexham

Wrexham #Wrexham

Wrexham missed out on a National League play-off place after a final-day draw away at Dagenham & Redbridge.

Forward Paul McCallum put Daggers ahead on 51 minutes, before Wrexham’s Paul Rutherford was shown a straight red card for a dangerous tackle.

Jordan Ponticelli levelled on 90 minutes but it was too little too late.

Chesterfield’s win away at FC Halifax and Bromley’s victory over Notts County mean Dean Keates’ side miss the play-offs and finish eighth.

Victory for Dagenham sees them finish the season in 12th place, seven points behind Bromley in the last play-off place in seventh.

Wrexham started the day in sixth, but with four teams just one point behind looking to pounce on any opportunity.

With the score level at half-time Wrexham were on course to finish sixth, but McCallum’s goal and Rutherford’s dismissal just seven minutes apart turned the day on its head.

Nathan Tyson’s late winner for Chesterfield and Ben Williamson’s strike for Bromley sealed Wrexham’s fate, and another season in the National League awaits the north Wales club.
