Stockport 1-0 Darlington

Stockport claimed a priceless win over play-off rivals Darlington.

County started well and Ryan Lowe was denied by David Stockdale before Liam Dickinson fired wide from close range.

Dickinson had another effort saved by Stockdale before he put Stockport, following up to slot home the rebound after Tommy Rowe's shot hit the post.
