Possession wise the Bulls were given 53% as against 47% for Darlington.
The Bulls had seven shots on target with four for the visitors. And in a very clean game, well refereed by Mike Russell, there were only nine fouls in total and one booking which was for Stephen Foster, a Darlington player.
Toumani Diagouraga was awared a nine for his mid-field performace today with eights given to Brown, McCombe, Rose, and Smith. The rest of the team received sevens except Theo Robinson who only got a six.
Striker Julian Joachim had the highest mark for a Darlinton player -an eight. Former Bull Rob Purdie was given a six.
The five goal win by the Bulls was the best 'League' result at home since the 7-1 demolition of Halifax one wet Tuesday evening in November 2003. That came after an embarrassing defeat at the Gay Meadow the previous Saturday.
