Quakers looking for fourth straight away win
By Ray Simpson
Away to Curzon Ashton tonight
Quakers are looking to win their fourth straight away win when they go to the Tameside Stadium tonight.
Quakers have won their last three away games at Kidderminster, Telford and Hereford, and hopefully they will keep the pressure on the teams around them at the top of the table.
Darlington
League position: 3rd (overtaken by Brackley and Kings Lynn on Saturday) played 21, won 11, drawn 5, lost 5, goals for 35 against 25 points 38
away form: played 10, won 5, drawn 2, lost 3, goals for 15 against 12, points 17 (2nd best in the league, only Chester better)
Team news: David Wheater is still missing because of injury, but top scorer Mark Beck is expected to return. Adriano Moke will have a fitness test on a groin injury
