PENNEY'S SPENT OVER DARLO LUCK

NOTTS COUNTY 0

DARLINGTON 0

On-LOAN striker Billy Clarke was convinced he had clinched a win for Darlington.

The Ipswich player hammered a first-half shot against the underside of the bar. But his appeals that the ball crossed the line were turned down.

Darlo also hit the post through Jason Kennedy, leaving manager Dave Penney to say:"We were really out of luck. But I'm delighted with the performance."

County boss Ian McParland said: "We should have gone in front, but we let them off the hook."
