Radcliffe v Darlington preview
By Ray Simpson
Can Quakers build on the Scunthorpe draw
Darlington are looking to build on their last two results when they go to Radcliffe on Saturday.
Quakers have beaten Buxton 1-0 in the Trophy and drawn 0-0 with Scunthorpe in the league in their last two matches, and they're hoping for at least a repeat at Stainton Park on Saturday. They've lost only once in their last seven.
Radcliffe, however, are unbeaten in their last five league and Trophy matches
