Hammers dish out a hammering

Wednesday 27 September 2023, Dagenham and Redbridge Academy U19 1 West Ham United Foundation 7 - National League Under 19 Alliance, Division 'A'




My 4th game in this league over the last two seasons, and West Ham are by far the best team I have seen, some very impressive players, in particular their forward who played wide on the right.


Game kicked off 11 minutes early and it was Dagenham who took an early lead, chances at both ends but by the 40th minute, West Ham had taken control and were now winning 2-1.


Second half was all West Ham, as they added 5 further goals and it could have easily been more.


May & Baker Sports and Social Club, must have the largest car park in football! A dated club house in one corner, once home to May and Baker Football club, a cricket club still survives on the site and possibly a Rugby Club (but no posts seen). The sports fields seem to be split into 3, with Dagenham using part as their training ground. This game took place on the part of the field on the opposite side of the car park to the social club.



What was noticeable compared to the other 3 games, I have seen in this Division, at this game there was no parents, friends or supporters from either club in attendance.
