Darlington v King's Lynn preview
By Ray Simpson
First ever meeting at BM
Quakers are looking to upset the league leaders in their last home game of the regular season at Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.
Quakers dropped out of the play off positions on Tuesday because of the defeat to Curzon Ashton, but they are still just a point below them going into the last two games of the season.
This will be King's Lynn's first visit to Blackwell Meadows.
Here are Alun's thoughts on the game:
League position: 8th (played 44, won 17, drawn 13, lost 14, goals for 70 against 61, points 64)
home form played 22, won 9, drawn 7, lost 6, goals for 35 against 29, points 34 10th best in league
Leading scorers (all matches) Jacob Hazel 20 Jack Lambert 16
