A 2-0 win at the New Bucks Head against Droylsden made it three wins in a week for the Bucks following the 2-0 victory at Hinckley on Monday and 1-0 Setanta Shield defeat of Barrow on Thursday, writes AFC blogger Joe Davies.

With Phil Trainer getting a double on Monday, new loan signing Ricky Sappleton scoring the winner on Thursday and Andy Brown’s brace on Saturday it looks as though we are returning to form at the right time.

This follows a poor run that saw us pretty much ruled out of the title race barring a minor miracle.

The performance and result on Thursday was interesting as it shows the strength throughout the squad. They beat a Blue Square Premier side yet again this season in the Setanta Shield and with players rested as well.

It was also good to see Ricky Sappleton get his first goal for the club and hopefully now he will go on to score more goals in our quest for promotion.

The other bonus to come from Thursday was the £18,000 prize money. Lee Carter has looked after the club so well since the formation of AFC Telford and it is good to see money going back into the club.

Saturday saw us win 2-0 in a good performance that was packed with action. The score line could have been much worse for Droyslden.

Sappleton, Trainer and Brown went close with efforts early on before Brown opened the scoring after 28 minutes.

Brown added the second only three minutes after half time but Droylsden should have pulled one back, Lee Vaughan clearing off the line.

Carey Bertram had two opportunities to extend the lead and Brown and Jagielka had further chances but the 2-0 score line was still a welcome one.

We now look forward with anticipation to the games against Farsley Celtic and Gainsborough this week.
