Smith is goal ace
HE might prefer to get his goals in the league but Darlington midfielder Gary Smith is developing a cup specialist tag. Smith got Quakers off to the perfect start in their FA Trophy tie at AFC Telford by scoring in the second minute. Boosted by the platform of an early goal, his team went on to win 3-0 to seal their place in the quarter-finals, though Smith would like to enjoy a bit more luck in front of goal during Blue Square Bet Premier matches. The Teessider said: I've scored three now this season and they've all come in cup games. I'd prefer them to be in the league if I'm honest, but I'm having chances to score this season so I'm happy with that, I've just not been putting them away. I've stopped setting targets for goals now. I used to be ten every year but I never ever got near it so I've stopped now, I just take them as they come.
