Two goals from man-of-the-match Mike Grogan, either side of half-time, and a thunderbolt from Adam Farrell (55) were some of the highlights on a chilly November afternoon.

Sean Clancy got the Bucks on their way on 10 minutes after referee Rob Ellis awarded a soft penalty to the homeside when Seadogs' skipper Paul Foot was adjudged to have fouled Farrell.

Clancy made no mistake with the spot kick but in a scrappy first half Liam Watson's side had to wait until 44 minutes when Telford settled their fans' nerves after Grogan converted Clancy's cross from close range to make it 2-0.

He was to get his second of the game after half-time pouncing on a mistake by Scarborough keeper Jason White and bundling the ball over the line for 3-0.

Farrell's 20-yard wonder strike from the angle of area made it 4-0 which brought applause from all corners of the ground.

The number 9, who notched for the third consecutive game, took one touch before smashing a piledriver that beat White all ends up, hitting the bar on its way into the back of the net.

Soon after Charlie Barnett could have extended the lead but his effort from 12 yards hit the keeper, the bar and the keeper again before somehow going behind for a corner.

But it wasn't long after when Simon Grand pounced on more defensive frailties in the Scarborough back-line as he scrambled the ball home to make it 5-0 on 85 minutes.

Tony Gray converted a late penalty on 88 minutes to make it 6-0 after Andre Milne brought down the Telford number 10.

Milne was shown red to complete a miserable second 45 minutes for the seasiders.
