Quakers look to return to winning ways on Saturday when we face a tough trip to Kidderminster Harriers in the Vanarama National League North..

The sides met at Heritage Park back at the start of September, when an early long range strike from Arthur Gnahoua gave Harriers a 1-0 win, but we were unlucky not to pick up a point from the game.

Our recent loss of form has seen the side drop to fifth place in the league, with Kidderminster moving up into second place. However, only two points separate the sides, both having played twenty games so far. Harriers have a good home record having won six of their ten games at Aggborough.

After five seasons in the Football League they were relegated back to the Conference Premier in 2004/05. They remained in the top level of non-league football until they were relegated into the Conference North at the end of last season.

The two sides have met multiple times over the last 30 years, including the first game at the Arena, when Harriers spoiled the Darlington party, as they won 2-0 in front of over 11,000 fans. Older Darlington fans will also remember the Conference days , when we lost 3-2 in the penultimate game of the season, which set up a nail biter for the title at Welling.
