Darlington v Farsley preview

Darlington v Farsley preview

Another big game

Darlington will clinch safety if they beat Farsley at Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

With two games remaining, Quakers will complete a remarkable escape from relegation if they beat Farsley, who are two places and two places below them.

If Quakers win and Blyth Spartans lose at Scunthorpe, then they will also finish above Spartans.

There's sure to be one of the biggest crowds of the season inside Blackwell Meadows, so make sure you arrive in plenty of time.
