Darlington 4 - 0 Hartlepool United
Well they let us have most of the ball except the four times they scored. They will be very happy about this win and it's the sort of thing their small minded fans will go on and on about. We are hurting and still have to back up for the second leg. So we will try our best to beat them in the return leg and see what can happen, maybe the tie is set up to leave them crying. We'll certainly try to realise that dream.
