Buxton v Darlington preview
By Ray Simpson
Quakers confident of a better result than last visit
Darlington are looking for a much better result at Silverlands on Tuesday than on their last visit in August last year when they were beaten 5-0.
They go into the game on the back of two encouraging performances to start their season, an unlucky 2-1 home defeat by Kidderminster and a 2-2 draw at Oxford City
Team News:
- They will include new defender Levi Andoh, who has arrived on a month’s loan from York
- Cedric Main is missing because of a hamstring injury
