Darlington are looking to bounce back from their defeat at Boston last week when they go to Leamington on Saturday.

Quakers have dropped to fourth in the wake of the 3-1 reversal last Brackley’s win at Kidderminster in midweek.

 Quakers will be wary of Leamington, especially after losing to another team near the bottom, Boston last week.
