Quakers looking for fourth successive win as FA Cup trail begins

Hoping for another FA Cup run

Darlington are looking for their fourth straight win when Southport come to Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

Quakers won 3-1 at Bradford PA on Monday for their third straight league win and to put them in the right frame of mind to start another FA Cup run -- they have reached the first round twice in the last three seasons.

We'd like to ask everybody to arrive early for the game as we will be holding a minute's silence for the late Her Majesty the Queen.

There is an 8 page match programme on sale, price £1.

We'd like to thank our match sponsors, Your Club
