Darlington suffered their fourth straight defeat at the hands of struggling Halifax at the Shay today.
Craig Middleton's second half strike was enough to give the Shaymen all three points and lift them off the bottom of Division Three.
The home side dominated the first half and Middleton was on hand to give his side a deserved lead early in the second half with a low drive beyond Andy Collett.
The Quakers rarely tested Lee Butler in the Halifax goal and former Darlington striker Robbie Painter should have wrapped things up for the Yorkshiremen but somehow failed to convert with the goal at his mercy.
