Darlington v Morecambe - Mar 24th 2008

Result: 2-2 - Att: 3,719

With only a single point from our last 2 games, we need a win today against Bradford City. It was disappointing that the Easter weekend games only resulted in 1 point for us, which came by the way of the draw at home to Morecambe. However, we find ourselves only 1 point behind 3rd placed Hereford United, therefore we are still in a great position to hopefully push on into an automatic promotion place.

Every game for the remainder of the season is going to be a difficult one, and I have no doubt that this season will go 'to the wire'. However, we still have to play a number of teams around us including Hereford, therefore our destiny in our own hands. It is certainly going to be a nervy few weeks as the season concludes, but at the same time exciting for fans. Our lads are capable of winning the majority of the games left to play, and we will all be hoping for a win today.

The 2-1 defeat at Chester City last Saturday was a great disapointment to all. Fozzie scored our goal and was also voted our 'man of the match' by supporters returning home from the game. The game against Morecambe was also disappointing in that we only secured a point from the game. However, after going 2 goals down, the lads showed great spirit by fighting back and grabbing to late goals to earn that important point.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR PRESENTATION NIGHT

This season's 'Player of the Year' presentation night will take place on the evening of Saturday 26th April, after our game against Dagenham & Redbridge. As usual, this event will take place in the Ron Greener suite and along with the awards, will also include a buffet and Disco until late. Tickets will be going on sale shortly, and don't forget to pick up the nomination forms in order to vote for the various awards. This annual event is always popular, and if results go as hoped, it could well be the best party that our stadium has ever seen!!

Lets hope that this afternoons Bank Holiday fixture attracts a larger than normal crowd along to the Arena. Please continue to give the lads you excellent support. Enjoy the game, and I look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday when we play host to Bradford City.
