A FRUSTRATED Darlington were beaten by a second-half goal as they lost 1-0 to Farsley Celtic at the Citadel. For the second game running, they found it tough going in breaking down a home defence which had ten men behind the ball after they took the lead from a free-kick. Luke Charman, on his return to the side, went close with a header early on, but Quakers’ keeper Johnny Saltmer stopped his side from going behind after seven minutes when Paddy Lane broke clean through, but the keeper pushed him wide, and Lane instead set up Jimmy Spencer, who fired over the top.
DARLINGTON gained a morale-boosting win with a 2-0 FA Trophy victory over City of Liverpool to earn themselves a home tie on Saturday against Telford. Quakers ,though, should have made the game safe a lot earlier than they did, as they missed several good chances after Luke Charman gave them the lead. The Scousers almost took the lead on five minutes, when Dominic Reid hit a shot from the edge of the box that took a deflection and went just past the post, with keeper Melvin Minter, in goal instead of Johnny Saltmer, going the wrong way. Quakers responded with a right foot curler shot by Erico Sousa that flew just over the top corner.
