Phil Jevons opened the scoring after 10 minutes when he finished superbly after running on to Laurence Wilson's pass.
Paul Mullin doubled the advantage 12 minutes into the second half, the striker stabbing a loose ball past Shane Redmond from 12 yards.
Darlington came closest with an Alan White header which was saved by Barry Roche, who also denied Tadgh Purcell.
