Former Darlington manager Dave Penney is due to play in the fundraising game at The Northern Echo Darlington Arena tomorrow.

He resigned on Thursday to become manager of Oldham Athletic who he saw beat Walsall 2-1 today.

But he will be back in the North-East tomorrow to play in the game that he and his Quakers assistant manager Martin Gray have organised to help raise for funds for cash-strapped Quakers.

The match, starting at 2pm, will give Penney and Gray, also Oldham-bound, an opportunity to say farewell to the Darlington fans.

The game will be contested by the Darlington side of 1999/2000, which reached the play-off final at Wembley, and an all-stars XI made up former North-East favourites.

Gray was in charge of Quakers today as they finished the season with a 2-1 win at Chester thanks to two Pawel Abbott goals.

With Abbott having put Darlington ahead in the 71st minute, an 89th minute Ian Miller own goal appeared set to deny Darlington a deserved win, until Abbott netted his eighth goal of the season in injury time.

The winner was teed up by young striker Curtis Main who has attracted the attention of Premier League Fulham and is to go on trial with the London club next week.
