Bernard McNally: Trophy clash has come at perfect time for AFC Telford

The FA Trophy comes at an ideal time for AFC Telford after back-to-back defeats.

It’ll be a little break for them to recharge their batteries and get some training in to improve their fortunes.

The ties in this competition are big games, they always are. Progression against Farsley Celtic will help with confidence and belief and is also worth £6,000 in prize money which is not to be sniffed at.

It’s a good competition and they’re good games to be involved in, Hednesford Town got to the final not so long back and there’s a lot of prestige in it.

It’s great for the fans, I’m sure for Gavin and the players it’s one they’ll be wary of against a team from the division below, obviously they’ve got some talent there.

It’s a bonus to be at home, but not a foregone conclusion.

The desire and drive grows in the Trophy as you go through the rounds for players and fans.
