Darlington'S FA Cup campaign is over, but last night's battling performance at Huish Park did much to restore the pride of David Hodgson's men.

With non-league Histon awaiting in the second round on December 4, Quakers did not the result they wanted. But the performance was everything Hodgson could have wished for after Saturday's humiliating 3-0 defeat at home to Lincoln.

Until Darren Way's 56th minute winner Quakers were very much in the contest against their League Two counterparts.

While Hodgson can feel aggrieved that Quakers' interest in the competition has ended prematurely, he will hope his side show the same fighting spirit when they return to the South-West to face Cheltenham Town on Friday.

"I thought we controlled the first half and created quite a few opportunities," said Hodgson.

"Their effort and the work-rate they put in was excellent. It was a huge improvement and I was very happy at half-time.

"Unfortunately, they got a goal early in the second half and it took us a while to regain our composure.

"I don't think we put enough shots on target to say we deserved to win the game, but overall the second half performance was a massive improvement on the second 45 minutes against Lincoln.

"When they get their minds right and their desire is there you can't ask anymore from them."

There was always going to be a feeling of injustice in the Quakers camp about facing last night's replay ten days after Bartosz Tarachulski's injury time equaliser cruelly denied Hodgson's men a second round place.

Substitute Clark Keltie appeared to have sealed Quakers' place with a late header.

But Tarachulski levelled with virtually the last kick of the game following referee Phil Joslin's decision - described by Hodgson as a 'joke' - to bring play forward ten yards.

If Joslin hadn't done enough to stir Quakers, then Saturday's defeat against Lincoln made sure Hodgson's men had everything to prove last night.

Hodgson pulled no punches at the weekend when he warned his players that many would never play for the club again with any repeat of their worst performance of the season.

With just one change from the weekend - Adrian Webster replacing Joe Kendrick - the Quakers boss was clearly seeking a positive response from his side, while Newark official Joslin was handed a similar reprieve, taking charge in the middle.

Joslin took little time in introducing himself to the Huish Park crowd when he ruled out a goal for the home side after two minutes for offside.

The linesman's flag was already raised when Tarachulski headed home Darren Way's cross from the left.

While Tarachulski may have had a lot to thank Joslin for ten days ago, the referee was less forgiving this time as the Polish striker was lectured for taking a tumble in the box under a legitimate shoulder barge from Ryan Valentine.

Yeovil signalled their intentions to take hold of the game early on, but Neil Maddison had other ideas. Head bandaged from an earlier clash, the Darlington-born midfielder appeared as determined as anyone to put Saturday's disappointments behind him.

And after Maddison won another ball in midfield with 25 minutes played, Neil Wainwright found space in the box, before firing over.

Quakers clearly sensed that a place in the next round wasn't as unattainable as some imagined, with Ian Clark and Valentine both having efforts at goal in a workmanlike first half display.

Many have wondered why striker Clyde Wijnhard wears the No. 3 shirt and the Dutchman provided one theory when he tracked back into the left-back position to lunge into Paul Terry's goal-bound effort.

The danger wasn't over when the resulting rebound fell to Tarachulski, who fired straight at Quakers keeper Sam Russell when it looked easier to score.

Tarachulski's frustrations were compounded with half-time approaching when he was booked by Joslin for diving on the edge of the box.

After a determined start to the second half it was Way who broke the deadlock with a superb solo effort in the 56th minute.

Bringing the ball in from the left-wing, Way - on his 200th appearance for the club - took the ball across two defenders before firing low past Russell.

The goal was harsh on Quakers for all their first half endeavour, but the Glovers had ruthlessly taken a hold of the game immediately after the interval.

Quakers were unlucky not to draw level when Wijnhard fired into the side-netting after Ian Clark's initial shot was blocked by Chris Weale.

Russell had to be alert at the other end to parry away Phil Jevons' snap-shot in the 73rd minute as the Glovers searched for a two-goal cushion.

After a neat interchange of passes with Way, Gavin Williams was denied superbly by Russell's reflex tip over the bar.

l Carlisle caused the shock of the night as Magno Vieira's 109th-minute effort took the Conference side past Bristol Rovers of League Two.

The Cumbrians will travel to face the winner of the first-round replay between Forest Green and Bournemouth.

Alfreton's hopes of making further were dashed as Macclesfield beat them 2-0 at Moss Rose.

Jonathan Parkin netted the first goal nine minutes into the second half and Mike Sheron grabbed a second.
