Big Tuesday night ahead as new manager gets to work as Bulls hope to return to the top

There’s five fixtures to keep you entertained tonight - and a new manager is chucked straight in.

Craig Elliott takes charge of Darlington for the first time since he was confirmed as Steve Watson’s replacement.

The Quakers are third from from bottom in the Enterprise National League North with 11 points from 15 matches.

Elliott arrives after leaving Bradford (Park Avenue) and will hope to introduce himself to his new supporters with a win over Oxford City.

"I have kept a clear eye on Darlington in recent years, and I think this is a great opportunity," said Elliott, who is hoping to avoid a fourth defeat in five games.

"They're a big club with great support, and they want to keep moving forward. Just like me, the club is very ambitious. I can assure everyone that I will work very hard and honestly to help the club climb the table."

Hereford will return to the top of the division if they win at Morecambe.

But Shrimps manager Adam Lakeland is demanding a response following Saturday’s 6-2 hiding at Hednesford.

“We have to make sure we learn from this and bounce back quickly,” he said.

The other game in the league sees Scarborough Athletic face Marine and it’s a big one with both sides sitting outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

There’s a double dose of action in the Enterprise National League South.

Salisbury, fresh from their six-star FA Cup fist round show, will move to third if they can defeat Braintree Town.

It’s the third match of a four game run on the road for Torquay United tonight.

They pay Hemel Hempstead Town a visit - and the bottom half is not what either club has in mind at this stage of the season.

Last night saw Ebbsfleet United move three points clear after a 2-2 draw at Chelmsford City.
