We play our landlords Bishop Auckland next Tuesday, Spennymoor Town on Friday 8^th of August, but first we travel to fellow Evo-Stik Premier side Whitby Town.

We played each other in a pre-season game last year, which Whitby won 1-0. The teams also met in a League Cup game which Whitby won on penalties after a 3-3 draw.

One of Quakers new signings Kevin Burgess joined the club from Whitby over the summer, as Tom Portas and Graeme Armstrong did 12 months ago.

The Seasiders finished in 13^th place in the Evo-Stik Premier last season.

In the league games itself, the two sides will meet on two Bank Holidays. Darlington are home on Boxing Day with the return fixture on Easter Monday.

Kick-off Saturday at the Turnbull Ground is 3pm.
