Peterborough Sports v Darlington preview

Second visit to Kettering this season

Peterborough Sports v Darlington

Quakers are hoping to complete their fixtures with a victory when they go to Kettering in order to play Peterborough Sports today.

They've dropped to 13th place, three points below the play off places, and it would need seven results go in their favour -- especially a draw between Gloucester and Chorley -- to regain a play off place.

Reminder: The game has been switched from Peterborough Sports to Kettering for safety reasons, free transport is available from Peterborough Railway Station to the ground

When Quakers played at Kettering earlier in the season, the game ended in a goalless draw, as did Peterborough Sports' visit to Kettering.
