Rallying call to save Royal British Legion clubs

Bath City 3 AFC Telford 1
Saturday 3rd December 2011, 4:49PM GMT.
AFC Telford United saw a three-game unbeaten run come to a crashing halt as they slipped to defeat away to bottom of the table Bath City.
Bath took a deserved lead on 26 minutes when midfielder Scott Murray’s deflected 35-yard shot beat keeper Ryan Young in the bottom corner.
But Telford got back on level terms in the last minute of the first half with their first effort of the game, striker Steve Jones latching onto a perfectly-weighted pass from Craig Farrell before rounding the keeper and slotting into an empty net.
But the game turned decisively when Telford skipper Shane Killock was sent off for a foul on Gethin Jones eight minutes into the second half.
Marc Canham converted the resulting penalty to restore his side’s lead and substitute Joe Bryan made the points safe seven minutes from time.
