Martin Gray’s side are six points clear of third-placed Warrington :: Plus the latest from the Northern League and Wearside League
Darlington have pretty much sealed second place and with it home advantage in the play-offs thanks to their 3-0 Heritage Park victory against Farsley.
Goals from Ian Ward, Amar Purewal and Leon Scott gave Quakers a fifth league win on the spin.
Martin Gray’s side are six points clear of third-placed Warrington in EvoStik First Division North and boast a far superior goal difference.
Ward powered Darlington ahead with a 35th minute volley, and Purewal kept his composure to slot the second on the hour.
Scott’s drilled shot sewed up victory for Quakers, who play their penultimate league match at Wakefield this afternoon.
Darlington are looking for a second successive promotion after last season’s title win in the Northern League, which only featured one game with Teesside connections on Saturday.
Marske drew 2-2 at Penrith, but goalscorers Austin Johnston and Jamie Clarke are doubtful for today’s League Cup semi-final at Ashington.
Johnston got the Seasiders back on level terms when his punt from halfway was palmed into the net by the backpedalling Penrith keeper.
Penrith struck back to regain the lead but Clarke rescued a point with a late free-kick.
Stockton Town beat Ryhope for the first time in nine attempts and picked the perfect time to do it as their 2-0 victory gives them a six-point lead over the Colliery Welfare at the top of the Wearside League.
Kallum Hannah and Adam Nicholson scored for Stockton, who now need 10 points from their final five games to retain the title.
