AFC Telford United suffer pre-season thrashing at Tamworth
AFC Telford United suffered a pre-season setback as they were thrashed 5-0 by Tamworth at The Lamb Ground last night.
The Bucks were without Brandon Hall, James McQuilkin and Jared Hodgkiss – while Nathan Fox was withdrawn during the first half after a bang to the head that required bandaging.
The Lambs – who have taken the Bucks' place in National League North – opened the scoring through Ben Milnes, directly from a free-kick.
A second followed six minutes before half-time when a Tamworth trialist spotted Telford's trialist goalkeeper off his line and lobbed him from long range.
Former Buck Callum Cockerill-Mollett hit the bar and, from the resulting corner, Liam Dolman made it 3-0 on the stroke of half-time.
A fourth arrived 11 minutes into the second half when Jordan Piggott was robbed of possession and Alex Jones rounded the goalkeeper.
And the rout was complete when Dan Creaney snaffled a chance inside the six-yard box.
