Spennymoor Town v Darlington
National League North
Saturday 21st February 2026, 3pm
The Brewery Field

The Opposition
Darlington have produced some of their best form over recent months to move themselves into the National League North play-off picture.

The Quakers have lost just twice in their last nine outings and will now be hoping they can nudge themselves back into the top seven during the run-in.

Steve Watson’s men have lost some ground in the last week having drawn 2-2 at Southport before losing to a last-minute penalty at Hereford on Tuesday night.

They remain four points above Moors in the table currently but arrive at The Brewery Field looking for their first league win on the ground since 2018.

Previous Meetings
Curtis Main’s stunning goal in injury time was enough to settle the last meeting between the two sides at Blackwell Meadows back in November.

Moors did run out winners on the last occasion Darlington came to The Brewery Field as goals from Olly Dyson and Aidan Rutledge did the damage for Graeme Lee’s men.

Referee
Ben Tomlinson will be the man in the middle for Saturday’s clash with The Quakers, and he will be assisted by Stephen Birkett and Ryan Coulson. Luke Hood is our Fourth Official.
