Dragons Boxing Clever In Incredible Day At The Summit

By Sam Elliott

Boxing Day really didn’t disappoint as the National League title race took an incredible twist.

Few would have predicted what we saw as yet again the top two lost - and the heat was put on them both.

The day started with Dagenham’s incredible come-from-behind win over Leyton Orient.

The leaders went in front in the second half from Josh Koroma, but the in-form Daggers showed once again they are nobody’s fool.

Late goals from Darren McQueen and Ben Nunn mean Orient slip for the second time in three games.

But second place Salford City not only couldn’t capitalise - they fell to pieces at the Racecourse.

Wrexham stormed to a hardly believable 5-1 win over the pre-season title favourites.

Any questions about the Red Dragons’ championship credentials have been well and truly been answered.

Shaun Pearson thumped them ahead ahead, and it was 2-0 when Akil Wright doubled their lead. It was game over before half-time as Brad Walker made it three.

Wrexham were in dreamland when they made it 4-0 as Ben Tollitt grabbed a debut goal.

Chris Holroyd iced the cake before City grabbed a consolation.
