Second local derby of the weekend for Quakers

Blyth are the visitors on Monday

 

 

And here's our half time advert roll for Quaker TV -- please support our sponsors:

 

It’s our second home game of the Bank Holiday weekend when Blyth Spartans visit Blackwell Meadows on Monday afternoon.

We picked up a point in a goalless draw against Spennymoor on Boxing Day, but the game was totally ruined by a gale force wind.

This will only be Quakers’ ninth league game of the season, Blyth have played 13.

 

Darlington:

Team News: Luke Charman is out with a hamstring injury

Louis Laing twisted his knee against Spennymoor, and is out, so Sean Reid will probably play in defence.

Omar Holness has a thigh injury and will probably be missing

Ben Hedley has a groin impact injury

 

League position 21st Played 8, won 3, drawn 1, lost 4, goals scored 11 against 8, points 10

Quakers form (League and cup): WLLWWWWLWWLLWWD

Leading scorers in all comps: Adam Campbell 5, Luke Charman 5, Jarrett Rivers 4
