Silkmen face Darts at the Moss Rose on Saturday

The Silkmen return to the Moss Rose for the second home match in a week as Dartford are the visitors.

The match takes place on Saturday at 3.00pm.

Another newcomer to the division, The Darts joined the Blue Square Premier in happier circumstances. After missing out on the title to Woking, they successfully navigated the play-offs to achieve promotion from the BSS by beating Basingstoke and Welling. It's is the pinnacle so far of the clubs history since they reformed in the Kent League in 1992.

They arrive at the Moss Rose looking for a first win at the higher level. So far they have met Tamworth at their innovative Princes Park stadium and were beaten 3-2 with the goals coming from Harry Crawford and Elliot Bradbrook, before travelling to former Conference South title rivals Woking, who won 1-0 thanks to a controversial penalty.

The Silkmen meanwhile are hoping to build on the midweek 2-0 win over Wrexham which saw goals from Waide Fairhurst and Arnaud Mendy.
