FULL TIME: Darlington 1883 0-0 Blyth Spartans - the replay takes place on Tuesday night at Croft Park

93: So unlucky for Spartans as Dale's magic sees his fashion a chance for Wearmouth but the winger's first time effort smashes the far post and the whistle goes.

Well into injury time here, surely not long to go

85: Hawkins booked for a foul on Hunter. Home support want a red but the official shows his first yellow of the game

83: Spartans sub Mullen for Rivers

83: A scramble in the area sees a loose ball run to Noble who smashes a low drive against the far post

79: Sub for Darlo Armstrong off for Hatch

74: Maguire on for Hutchinson for Spartans

71: Armstrong releases Noble in on goal and Buddle's unfortunate slip allows the former Sunderland youngster in. However he strikes across Jeffries and sees his shot come off the far post, big let off for Spartans

Fire alarms going off here but apparently there is no fire, so it's keep calm and carry on.

63: Rivers fouled by Robinson right on the edge of the Darlington area. Hooks over it but it hits the wall and goes out for a corner kick, but that is cleared

62: Wearmouth replaces Bell as Spartans make their first change

Attendance confirmed at 1,051 here at Heritage Park

That was an debatable decision by the official but justice done as Jeffries produces a wonder save from Galbraith's well struck spot kick

52: Unbelievable penalty given for the Quakers as Hooks wins the ball from Noble but a penalty is given. Jeffries denies Galbraith from the spot with a cracking save to his left

51: Big chance for the hosts as Adam Mitchell breaks in behind the Spartans back four but a last ditch challenge from Buddle denies him

50: Dale breaks to the right hand side of the area and his cross finds it's way to Hutchinson who sees his goalbound volley blocked by Brown

We are back underway here at Heritage Park

Sub at the break for the Quakers as first half substitute Dowson is replaced by Noble

HALF TIME: The deadlock remains unbroken at the interval. Spartans only just on top especially towards the end of the half but Brown had the best chance of the game for the Quakers.

39: A whipped free kick into the area from the right by Galbraith is flicked goalwards by Brown but Jeffries gathers, the former Spartan could and should have finished that

34: Hawkins robs Brown twenty yards from goal and rolls to Dale who can only curl well over the bar from the edge of the box

30: Alex Nicholson tries his luck with a twenty five yard free kick but it's comfortable for Jameson

28: Stoppage in the game as Amar Purewal goes down with what looks like a hamstring injury and is replaced by Dowson

25: Big penalty shout for Spartans as Brown drags down Hawkins in the box. The referee has a good look but turns down Spartans appeals

15: The hosts finding their feet and almost a chance for Armstrong but he fails to connect with Thompson's far post cross

11: Spartans break well from Buddle's excellent headed clearance. Dale finds Rivers on the left and he cuts in before giving a return pass but Dale can only lash wide of the left hand post from twenty yards

7: Hawkins finds space down the left as Spartans put pressure on the Quakers back four and his chip to the back post sees Adam Reed head clear as Robbie Dale was lurking. Corner given but it is cleared easily

There's a decent crowd here at Heritage Park, with a sizeable contingent of the Green Army making themselves heard in the early stages

It will be Spartans who get us underway here as Robbie Dale and Ryan Hutchinson stand over the ball. Dale looks to be starting as a lone frontman with Bell and Rivers out wide

The teams are out here at Heritage Park with Spartans in their yellow and green change kit, the Quakers wear their traditional black and white.

It's FA Cup day and a rare Sunday fixture for Spartans as they travel to Bishop Auckland's Heritage Park, temporary home of Darlington 1883. It's a tricky tie for Tom Wade's men as they face a number of former Spartans including Gary Brown and Graeme Armstrong.

Team News:

One change for Spartans as Dan Hawkins replaces Arran Wearmouth, who is on the bench alongside the returning Dan Maguire. Damen Mullen also returns to the squad after missing the midweek defeat at Skelmersdale United.

Darlington name former Spartans Gary Brown and Graeme Armstrong in their starting lineup.
