AFC Telford United’s title hopes took a big knock as they slumped to a heavy defeat away at Eastwood.

The Badgers of Eastwood took the lead on 24 minutes as Michael Simpson’s corner was blasted goalward by Matt Bailey and deflected in by team-mate Russell Cooke.

And the hosts were well and truly in control 11 minutes later when another Simpson corner, this time from the left, was eventually headed in by Adie Hawes.

The Bucks made two changes at half-time in a bid to turn the tide but it made no impression.

And Eastwood made sure of the win with a third goal just three minutes into the second half, Lee Stevenson heading in off yet another Simpson corner.
