Quakers looking to build on Telford win at home to Farsley

Return of Nathan Cartman and Dave Syers

We’re looking for another good win to keep our play off challenge going when Farsley Celtic come to Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

Our play off challenge was re-ignited by a superb 2-1 away win at Telford last week, which leaves us ninth in the table, one place above Farsley.

 

Saturday also sees the return of two former Darlington players, Nathan Cartman and Dave Syers, and they’re assured of a warm welcome.

Many Darlington fans fondly remember a certain goal by Carts at Salford once!
