Darlington 0 Stockport County 1 ( Manarama National League- North( 29 Sepember 2018)
County kept up the good work with a narrow but really quite comfortable win against Darlington today at Blackwell Meadows. The score line of 1-0 hints at a muck and nettles encounter in which nerves were shredded, but it was not so. Apart from the last 5 minutes when Darlo threw everything at James Gannon`s men in a vain attempt to salvage the match County held sway throughout- defence superbly marshalled by captain Palmer, and forwards constantly fuelled from an almost ceaseless supply line from Darren Stephenson who was a contender for M.O.M. Stephenson - a threat ! Another contender being Sam Walker who was on top of almost everything all afternoon, whilst wide men Sam Minihan and Scott Duxbury along with the goal hungry Nyal Bell gave the home side no rest at all. Bell- he`ll score in a minute ! Having run through a fare old list of M.O.M contenders I now dib out and opt instead to say the team deserve maximum cred
