Battling Bucks fall short where it matters most There’s an old football joke about the test of a team or player being whether they can do it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke.

Their performance wasn’t far short,
but while @telfordutd.bsky.social possessed more quality on the ball than the hosts, the quality wasn’t there where it really mattered – Alfreton Town's penalty area.

AFC Telford boss Kevin Wilkin has his say on battling victory over AFC Sudbury A 2-0 home victory for AFC Telford United didn’t hit the heights in terms of performance, but it maintained their position just shy of the summit of the Southern Central Premier, writes Rich Worton.
