THERE have been numerous memorable matches between Darlington and Spennymoor Town. Quakers’ pivotal 3-1 win at the Brewery Field which helped win the Northern League in 2013, the pulsating play-off final in 2015, and Moors’ 3-1 success on New Year’s Day this year are among key contests in their rivalry.
Saturday’s was not one of the classics, however. Not by a long shot.
It was a competitive but scrappy, a largely forgettable draw as both sets of players battled the elements as well as each other. Or, as one club official put it: “90 minutes that I won’t get back.”
