Darlington are looking to keep their hold on second place at home to Leamington on Saturday.

Even though Quakers have lost their last two matches, they are still second on goal difference above Brackley Town, and going for their sixth home league win in eight matches at Blackwell Meadows.

We'd like to thank our match sponsors: Screentech.
