Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Darlington at Memorial Stadium on Tuesday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 6 of the previous 8 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was just last season, in September 2005, the Pirates carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.
