Zach Judson started in goal and captained the side with the usual Issac Marr and Ben Snowden partnership in defence.
Charlie Cole, making his 25th appearance for the club, started on the right with Max Atkinson on the opposite flank. Jack Shaw played in the centre of the park.
Oliver English started in attack looking for his 10th goal of the season.
From a slow start to a bombardment, Darlington grew into the game, and thanks to the keeper Zach who made numerous saves the game was held back.
Darlington had a chance when Jack Shaw let fire from 20 yards but the Leven keeper was equal to it.
After a half time team talk by coach Adam, a different Darlington team entered the pitch, a one that was determined to get back into the game.
The team pressed and were unfortunate not to get a goal when Harry Gunnal had his effort saved.
Again, Zach Judson produced a brilliant performance to keep the score tight.
Still, Darlington continued to press on and were given a life line when Charlie Cole struck late on, to give the Quakers a chance.
A great performance from the team, as they proved again that they are very competitive in the league.
Man of the match went to Zach Judson in goal, who was outstanding on the day. Well over 20 saves kept his side competitive and in the game.
Thank you all for your continued support, and commitment.
