In this edition of Pic from the Past, Craig Stoddart looks back to the game in the EvoStik League First Division North in December 2013.

In December 2013 Darlington produced a strong performance to record a big win at league leaders Warrington, who were top of the table and hadn’t lost since August.

The Wire had become accustomed to not losing. After losing the first two fixtures of the season, one of them to Darlington, they had built a 17-game undefeated run in the league.

Yet Quakers made Shaun Reid's side look ordinary with David Dowson scoring twice before the break and Amar Purewal adding a couple of his own in the second half for fifth-placed Darlington.

"It was a big performance,” said Darlington manager Martin Gray. “We knew that we had to come here and put in a big performance and we did that from start to finish. We dominated the game.

"We knew what they are about because we've had them watched a few times, so the work that goes in has been proven worthwhile.

"They're very physical, they're very direct and they have their style of play.

"I spoke to their manager before the game and he made it very clear what they are about. Everyone's got their own style."
