Darlington manager Martin Gray is targeting a good run in the FA Buildbase Trophy when Quakers face Marine in the third qualifying round at Heritage Park on Sunday.

Since we won the competition back in 2011, we haven’t really had a good run, but MG wants to put that right against Marine from the EvoStik Premier Division.
