Droylsden recovered from a nervous start to earn a replay against League Two leaders Darlington.

Keeper Craig Mawson collided with a post and was carried off after three good early saves but Droylsden stand-in Kyle Clancy continued the good work.

Darlington struggled after half-time and Clancy's only save of note was from Richie Foran's diving header.

The visitors' best effort came from Sean Newton, whose second-half free kick was deflected narrowly wide.
