Telford secured promotion to the National League North in magical style with a 4-2 comeback play-off final victory at Kettering Town on Monday (May 5). 

It came 364 days after they agonisingly missed out on promotion, losing to Leamington in last season's play-off final. 

Each goal was celebrated passionately by members of the Bucks board including Shropshire-born Hollywood producer Chris Ball who is a minority investor.
