Darlington face Banbury for the first time ever at Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

This is Banbury’s first season at this level, they were promoted from the Southern League Premier Division Central last season, after winning the league with plenty to spare.

Quakers are hoping to bounce back from the defeat at Southport in midweek, when they were beaten by a goal just before half time.
