Darlo/Spennymoor friendlies

[The Mighty Brian Rowe]

Has it been announced yet what the set up will be for the games?

First team at one, juniors at other or a mixture at each?

[swintonrover]

Two first teams, the goal is to get as many players 90 minutes as possible. We played two different nearly full strength teams at Stamford for an hour each.

I wonder if we see Billy and Joe in the same 11 at one of the games?

I would REALLY like to see that all season!!!!

[Alan Southstand]

Not if Stamford is anything to go by. Billy played the first 60 and Ironside the 2nd 60. Miller played in a 3 with BS & LM.

Ironside had Gibson and Yeboah for partners.

If it hadn’t been for Flint and Straughan-Brown, we couldn’t have fielded two 11’s, due to the 3 midfield injuries.

The format will change when we play Hull and Boro. Then we’ll probably see lots of subs being used. After those 2 games, I have a suspicion that we may have a few more knocks & bruises!

[philsky]

Probably mentioned elsewhere but a shame they couldn't rig up some commentary for one or both of these matches

I see a Cedric Main is playing for Darlo. I wonder if he is related to our ex star striker.

V Spennymoor.

[Barmby Rover]

It is a long time since Rovers played Darlington, hope they start climbing the ladder again soon.

[swintonrover]

Rovers win 1-0 through an own goal.

[Batleyred]

Gibson and Hurst scored two nill

[ncRover]

Rovers win 1-0 through an own goal.

Another assist for Ironside, but could do with him getting a goal soon.

Gibson and Hurst on fire at the moment. Is JG playing centrally?

[DonnyOsmond]

Anyone been? Anyone catch the eye?

[Lincoln Rover]

At Spennymoor.
Hurst, Gibson & Maxwell caught the eye for me. Shout out to Williams & Straighan Brown. Spennymoor were good. Crowd 813. Over half from Donny.

Kasper Williams, one of our young players.
