Previous Meetings
The two sides clashed last season with the hosts winning on each occasion, in October Darlington ran home 5-1 winners against a young Lions side who had been hit by Covid-19 cases and made six signings on the day of the game.
In February the sides met at a wet Nethermoor and it was Andy Hollins’ header which was the difference to seal a priceless three points.
