Quakers had a scare on3 minutes when Emile Sinclair set up Tom Davie, but Liam Marrs blocked his shot on the edge of the box.

 Quakers had a great chance on 25 minutes when Liam Marrs crossed from the right for Mark Beck to put in a diving header that Joe Cracknell parried, and Nathan Cartman, under pressure, put the rebound over the top.

Bradford nearly took the lead when a free kick was floated into the box, Liam Dickinson got his head to it, and Woolston pushed the ball around the post.

From the corner that followed, the ball ended up back in the box where Tom Davie turned quickly and hit the post with Woolston beaten.

After Quajkers forced another corner, Bradford responded with a long range shot by Wroe that went a yard over the top, and then Emile Sinclair tried to lob Woolston from wide out on the left, but the ball went harmlessly wide.

Terry Galbraith almost caught Cracknell out from 35 yards, the keeper going down to his left to concede Darlington’s 10^th corner.
