Darlington 3 Frickley 0

Quakers bounced back in style against Frickley in our first home game in the EvoStik Premier Division.

We lost our first game at Buxton the previous Saturday, but we produced some superb football in a thriller.

We took the lead when Nathan Cartman opened up the Frickley defence beautifully for Tom Portas to crash the ball home, and then Cartman beat the offside trap and volleyed the second after Stephen Thompson flicked on a Portas pass.

Frickley had their chances in a really good game, but they were finished off when skipper Kevin Burgess swept the ball home from a corner near the end.

Darlington: Jameson, Gibbons, Galbraith, Portas, Burgess (sub Watson 85), Hunter, Mitchell, Turnbull, Armstrong (sub Alan White 72), Cartman, Thompson (sub Scott 73).

Subs not used: Provett, Tom White
