Accrington 0-2 Darlington
Accrington Stanley's first home league game in 44 years ended in a disappointing defeat to Darlington.
The home side had started well with Ian Craney having a fierce shot blocked and Gary Roberts' 20-yard curler being kicked away by keeper Sam Russell.
But Darlington took the lead when Craig James' corner found its way to Michael Cummins, who volleyed home.
Martin Smith added the Quakers' second when poor defending allowed him a shot on goal.
