With the midfield of Harry Hobbs,Bettridge and Matthew Wilson dominating possession Darlington scored again through Howarth after a great passing move involving four players . Darlington were now in full flow and Noble grabbed the third when put through by Bearpark again after a great passing move that started right from the back .
