Tom Whelan was harshly sent off after 10 minutes but the Spireites took the lead when Will Evans fired in.
However, the Daggers hit back instantly through Scott Wilson.
The Blues went in front again when Akwasi Asante scored from close-range after a brilliant piece of skill from Haydn Hollis, but Sam Deering curled in from 25 yards to level the score just after the break.

Understandably there were no overlapping runs forward from Maguire with Town down to 10-men so early on in the game. Defensively he stuck to his job well. Photo: Dean Atkins

Similar to Maguire in that we didn't see much of him going forward. Had to dig deep in the second half with Dagenham's attacks coming down his side. Photo: Dean Atkins
7. Gavin Gunning 7
Made his first start for the Spireites in midfield in place of the suspended McCourt. Battled well and whipped in some decent set-pieces. Been out injured before joining the Blues so the 78 minutes he got under his belt will have done him good. Photo: Phil Tooley

Put in a proper shift with Gunning in central midfield after Tom Whelan had been sent off. His closing down was excellent. Photo: Steve Flynn/AHPIX LTD
