Darlington travel to Frickley Athletic on Tuesday night looking to keep up the pressure on league leaders Blyth Spartans.
The Quakers won their eighth game in a row on Saturday, with a 2-0 win against Sutton Coldfield Town at Heritage Park. An early own goal along with a strike from Nathan Cartman secured the three points.
Darlington team: Jameson, Hunter, Galbraith, Turnbull, Burgess, Portas, Hardy (sub Gaskell 52), Scott (sub Nowakowski 78), Armstrong (sub Thompson 60), Cartman, Mitchell
Subs: Provett, White
The Frickley fixture was due to be played in January, but was one of many fixtures across the league to be called off at the start of 2016.
The sides have already met twice this season, with the Quakers coming out on top on both occasions. Darlington were 3-0 winners at Heritage Park in the first week of the season, when goals from Tom Portas, Nathan Cartman and Kevin Burgess secured a 3-0 victory.
