AFC Telford United 4 Colwyn Bay 1
AFC Telford United came from behind to snap a two-game winless run in the Skrill Conference North with a win over Colwyn Bay at the New Bucks Head.
The Bucks trailed to Jamie Crowther's early opener but levelled through Robbie Booth and led due to Simon Grand's header, before second-half strikes from subs Matthew McGinn and Mike Phenix.
There were just six minutes on the clock when the deadline was broken by Crowther, but there was a hint of a Chris Lever own goal when the ball went in.
It was Lever who appeared to turn the ball into the net as players jostled for position from Tom Smyth's long throw, but Crowther was right behind him as the ball was poked in.
Back came the home side as Andy Owens, recalled to the starting line-up, drew a strong parry from goalkeeper Chris Sanna, after getting a firm header to Sean Clancy's corner.
Their lead lasted just three minutes – there were nine on the clock when the hosts pulled level as Robbie Booth, making his first competitive start for the club, took little time to warrant his inclusion.
Booth picked up the ball on the left and cut inside to fire low under the dive of Sanna just inside the box, as parity was restored with the minutes still in single figures.
Then Booth nearly turned provider four minutes later with an inviting cross that Adam Farrell met with a header, that dropped just wide of the post.
With 20 minutes gone, Telford were on top for the first time as Clancy's corner was met with a stooping header from Grand, which put the Bucks in the box seat at half-time.
The game exploded into life again in the last 10 minutes as the visitors first went close to an equaliser, as substitute Ed Moss' corner evaded everyone and clattered off the post to safety.
That miss was punished with a minute to go as McGinn took his chance well, checking inside full-back Danny Taylor to place his shot past the outstretched hands of Sanna.
The cherry on the cake came three minutes into stoppage time, as Phenix got inside Sanna and Colwyn Bay player-manager Frank Sinclair to lift the ball over the goalkeeper and into the net.
Mike Grogan's long ball over the top found him in an impressive performance from the new signing, who saw an effort hacked off the line by Taylor on 24 minutes.
