They also had a David Syers goal disallowed from a cross by the outstanding Joe Wheatley, and before half time Styche lobbed just over the bar and then had a low shot saved.

Nuneaton had their moments in the first half. Darlington keeper Aynsley Pears touched a low effort by Tom Elliott around the post, and he also made a point blank save to prevent Ashley Chambers.

Quakers tired in the second half, which wasn’t surprising considering that they had played on Thursday, but they still created two good chances.

Wheatley hit a powerful right foot shot from 30 yards that Etheridge parried and Syers couldn’t quite turn the ball in.

Styche had another effort blocked, before Etheridge denied Quakers.
