We look to make it back-to-back victories on Saturday as we travel to Alfreton Town (writes Simon Hahn)

Last weekend we beat Tamworth 3-2 at Blackwell Meadows in what was one of our best performances in recent months, which included a fantastic team goal that was finished by Nathan Cartman.

Despite a troubled week off the field we go into the game in fifth place with four games remaining this season.

Here's the league table before Friday's games

Alfreton are currently 18th in the league table and are not yet safe from relegation. They are nine points ahead of the bottom three going into the last two weeks of the season.

After four years in the Conference Premier, Alfreton were relegated into the Conference North in the 2014/15 season and last year finished in 10th place in the league table.

Included in their squad is Gibraltar international Adam Priestley who has played against the Quakers previously for Farsley.

Last six matches:

Darlington: WLWDWW

Alfreton: LLLLWW

Our meeting at Heritage Park earlier in the season was one of the most entertaining games of the campaign despite us ending up on the losing end of a 4-3 thriller. Josh Gillies scored two free-kicks along with a goal for Amar Purewal for us.

The two sides met twice during the 2011/12 season in the Conference Premier, the sides drew 1-1 at the Arena, but it was Alfreton who got the better of the Quakers in the return game winning 2-1.

Kick off on Saturday night is 3:00pm, updates on the game will be made from the club's Facebook, Twitter, Mobile App and Website. Live Commentary will be broadcast from Darlo Fans Radio at 2:50pm
