Darlington were unable to field French trialist Cherif Avelkadous in last night's reserve team win over Stockport County at Feethams.

Quakers won the game 3-1 but striker Avelkadous did not receive clearance in time to play.

Neil Maddison also missed the game as he is still suffering from a bruised foot which is likely to keep him out of tomorrow night's match at Luton Town.

Other notable absentees were Kirk Jackson and Barry Conlon, who missed training this week, and both are doubtful for tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, defender David Brightwell came through the 90 minutes unscathed following his cracked toe.

But the game gave Gary Bennett another injury worry when Paul Campbell limped off the pitch in the second half.

He goes into hospital this morning for an X-ray on his left foot which comes as a blow to the young midfielder who has only just recovered from injury.

Last night's Darlington win was an entertaining affair, watched by a healthy crowd of around 300.

Quakers's goals came courtesy of two first half Adam Rundle penalties and a Clint Marcelle goal. Stockport struck to make the score 2-1, but Marcelle's late strike ensured the Darlington win.

The ex-Barnsley frontman stole in to fire into an unguarded net following a mix-up in the County rearguard between the goalkeeper and covering defender.
