Darlington are looking for their fourth straight win when Southport come to Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

Quakers won 3-1 at Bradford PA on Monday for their third straight league win and to put them in the right frame of mind to start another FA Cup run -- they have reached the first round twice in the last three seasons.

We'd like to ask everybody to arrive early for the game as we will be holding a minute's silence for the late Her Majesty the Queen.

There is an 8 page match programme on sale, price £1.

We'd like to thank our match sponsors, Your Club
