Quakers looking for their third away win

Chorley 1 Darlington 0 

Taylor 8 mins 1-0

 

Jonah Lowes got around the back of the Chorley defence on the left in the second minute, and won a corner. He swung the ball into the middle, and Ciaran Thompson poked the ball over the bar.

Then Ethan Fitzhugh also made ground up the left and pulled the ball back for Mark Beck, whose left shot was blocked for a corner.

When that came over from the right from Paddy McLaughlin, Beck glanced the ball over the bar.

Chorley took the lead on 8 minutes. The ball was chipped into the Darlington box from the right, and Elliott Taylor glanced the ball in from ten yards.

The home side went looking for a second, and Atkinson to did well to head away a teasing cross from the right at the far post.

Then Adam Blakeman fired straight at Bobby Jones from 25 yards.

Quakers lost possession in midfield and Taylor broke away, but Jones just got his right hand to his low shot.
