The Daggers Academy drew 0-0 this morning against the leaders Southend United in the Puma Youth Alliance League at the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham Stadium.

Southend United are the current leaders and the Daggers played a very strong side from the Essex coast.

"We created a lot of chances in a very entertaining game and the players were fantastic. Just like the Millwall game Southend are a couple of years older and well organised but we are going in the right direction for a very young side."

"We had some good chances in front of goal and played well to hold the leaders."

Robbie Garvey speaking after the match.
