Darlington boss Dave Penney is hoping to meet his former club Doncaster in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy after his side beat Mansfield 1-0 to reach the Northern Section semi-finals.
Martin Smith scored the only goal of the game in spectacular fashion at the 96.6 TFM Arena to ensure Penney's great start in charge of the Quakers continued.
However, following his exit from League One side Doncaster earlier in the season, he is now hoping to come up against his old side on the way to a possible Millennium Stadium date.
He said: "We made five changes in order to rest some of the regulars and to give a chance to those who are on the fringe. Some of them didn't perform to the tempo that we were looking for.
"The chances are that we could meet Doncaster in this competition or even in the FA Cup.
"If we could get another home tie and also some of the bodies back then it would be nice to think that we could get all the way through to Cardiff."
