STALYBRIDGE Celtic slipped worryingly back into the Nationwide Conference drop zone with just four games left last night (Monday) as they surrendered their unbeaten record under Dave Miller in a 2-1 defeat at title-chasing Dagenham.

Ged Courtney gave Bridge the lead after just seven minutes, but Mark Stein equalised within seconds and the Celts were then sunk by a 35-yard Danny Hill thunderbolt five minutes before the break.

With Stalybridge's main relegation foes Woking, who they entertain on Saturday, collecting a point against doomed Dover, the Celts are now back to third-from-bottom.
