Darlington v Bradford PA

We are looking for our first home league win of the season when Bradford Park Avenue visit Blackwell Meadows tonight.

We have enjoyed some great away form with four successive wins in league and FA cup, but we have yet to open our league account at Blackwell Meadows.

Bradford come into the game in 16^th place after losing at home to Telford on Saturday.
