Morecambe prepare to entertain Dagenham & Redbridge at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Shrimps are clearly on top, having won 5 and lost only 1 of the 9 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was less than a year ago, in January 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Conference match.
