Dagenham were relegated from the National League after a 1-1 draw at Solihull saw them slip into the bottom four on a dramatic final day.

The Daggers, who had started the afternoon in 20th place – a point clear of Wealdstone – broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute when Oscar Rutherford bundled in a loose ball after Shiloh Remy’s shot had been saved.

However, Solihull equalised with 15 minutes left when Manny Duku nodded in from a corner at the near post.

Dagenham pressed for the late winner which would have kept them up and Josh Umerah saw his effort go just wide in stoppage time, but relegation was confirmed following Wealdstone’s 3-1 win over Halifax.
