Chorley v Darlington preview

First away game of the season

Quakers head to Chorley on Saturday, hoping to build on last Saturday's 3-1 home win over Gloucester City.

Three debutants, Jacob Hazel, Mark Beck and Kaine Felix scored for Quakers last Saturday, and manager Alun Armstrong is hoping for a repeat of that goalscoring form at Victory Park.

Defender Jassem Sukar and midfielder Jarrett Rivers are both added to the squad, but midfielder Danny Rose is still injured.

Team: Taylor, Griffiths, Lawlor, Wheater, Hedley, Moke, Purver, Lambert (sub Maddison 90+2), Mondal (sub Felix 72), Beck, Hazel
