Sandgrounders seal replay

Southport forced an FA Cup replay against Dagenham as neither side could find the net at Victoria Road.The Vanarama Conference outfit will now host the League Two Daggers, who had the better chances and may feel their best chance on progressing has gone as a result.Southport had the first effort of note as Richard Brodie forced home goalkeeper Mark Cousins to tip over the bar.Jamie Cureton came close for Wayne Burnett's side 24 minutes in but his header from Ashley Chambers' cross took a deflection and went wide.Brodie continued to cause problems for the hosts and volleyed just wide before Dagenham had an excellent chance to take the lead before half-time.George Porter raced down the right but his cut-back was just behind Cureton and although the forward was in space, he could not get a clean connection on his effort.A minute after the interval, Burnett's team had another opportunity but Luke Howell poked wide from close range.Brodie nearly gave the Sandgrounders the lead in the 55th minute but his downward header was well pushed out by Cousins and it finished goalless.
