Darlington will leave Exeter a much happier crew this evening after securing a comfortable 4 - 0 victory over the southern side.

This is a superb result for caretaker boss Mick Tait, who took over from departing manager Tommy Taylor midweek.

Craig Liddle opened the scoring with a header from Ryan Valentine's free-kick. Minutes later they doubled their lead when Matt Clarke drove the ball home.

After the break, a corner from Ashley Nicholls found Barry Conlon at the far post and he headed in Darlington's third.

Nicholls got his name on the scoresheet with a well-taken strike after good work from Simon Betts.
