Quakers handed much needed boost after difficult week
Darlington maintained their outside chances of a play-off spot with a 1-0 victory over Notts County.
The Quakers, who were last week deducted 10 points for going into administration, took the lead after only five minutes when midfielder Robin Hulbert side-footed a low cross from Danny Carlton beyond County keeper Kevin Pilkington.
Hulbert went close again in the seventh minute with a low drive from 18 yards before Carlton failed to connect with a great throughball from Jason Kennedy that split the County defence in two shortly after.
Pilkington was then forced to tip a low 25-yard drive from Carlton around a post just after the half-hour mark as Darlington continued to dominate.
County striker Jonathon Forte had his side's first shot on target in the 50th minute but Quakers keeper Andy Oakes easily handled his low drive from 20 yards.
Forte had a further opportunity in the 55th minute but the striker's volley from the edge of the area drifted off target and Dave Penney's men held on for three points.
