Armando Wood put the Bucks ahead early on but Aidan Wishart restored parity for Haughmond soon after at Shrewsbury Town's Greenhous Meadow.

Benji Robinson, who made his first-team bow against Harrogate last weekend, struck what turned out to be the winner with 10 minutes left.

But AFC Telford had keeper Nathaniel Marsden to thank for preserving the lead with a great save in the dying seconds – although several Haughmond players felt the ball had crossed the line.
