Darlington to face Telford
Darlington have been handed a tricky FA Trophy tie away to AFC Telford who they must overcome if they are to reach the quarter-finals. Today's draw paired Quakers with the Shropshire club who are fourth in the Blue Square North and have lost only one league game all season. Telford boast former Darlington striker Adam Proudlock among their ranks. He did not enjoy his short-lived spell at The Northern Arena, failing to score in 11 appearances during 2008-09, but at the New Bucks Head Stadium he has scored 11 goals in 19 appearances this season. Darlington, one of the favourites for the competition, are one of only six Blue Square Premier clubs in the last 16 with Mansfield and Luton both well-fancied. Gateshead and Blyth Spartans were handed home ties. The Heed face Dartford and Mick Tait's Blyth are at home to Droylsden.
