Back in January Chorley went to Blackwell Meadows, home of Darlington FC, and beat the league leaders 0-3. It has been one of the best away victories this year for the Magpies and signalled an unhappy period for the Quakers as they eventually slipped to tenth at the season's close. It's fair to say that this season hasn't gone to plan so far either. Having spent a long period on the bottom of the table, recent victories away at Farsley Celtic and at home to Chester have pushed them up to 22nd. Victory for Chorley at the weekend at home to Peterborough Sports was much needed but the Magpies must be mindful that a rejuvenated Quakers could pose some problems in this evening's fixture.
