Darlington won a corner in the first minute when Hinton blocked a Jackson cross from the right but Harriers managed to scramble the set piece away after a spot of head tennis in the area. Craig Hinton did some good defensive work early on
The game was a scrappy encounter early on with neither side getting hold of the play and Darlington operating with just the one man up front.
Harriers' Danish star Henriksen was quickly in the action, hooking a deflected effort over on 10 minutes.
On 17 minutes, Brock collected a low 20-yard drive from Campbell at the second attempt.
Harriers' Bird, replacing the ill Broughton, put the ball in the net on 22 minutes but he was offside as he ran onto Appleby's flicked header.
