AFC Telford United 1 Oxford City 0: Bucks topple the league leaders
The Bucks tackled the National League North table-toppers at the SEAH Stadium.
You wait a month for a win, and then two come along in four days.
AFC Telford United backed up their first win of the season on Saturday by toppling National League North leaders Oxford City at the SEAH Stadium last night.
It was 1-0 to the Bucks again as Remi Walker scored the winning goal just after half-time to lift Telford out of the relegation zone.
Oxford featured a couple of familiar faces in former Bucks players Josh Ashby and Ellis Brown, while Telford made one change from their 1-0 victory at Scarborough, with Dylan Mitchell replacing Sam McLintock.
There was plenty of action, but few clear-cut chances during a tight opening period, with Louis Moult testing Oxford goalkeeper Jonny Maxted just before half-time.
However, it needed just four minutes of the second period for the Bucks to take the lead as they opened up the visitors and Walker stroked the ball home from 12 yards.
That spurred Telford on and they began to trouble Maxted more, with Moult denied once again before Matty Stenson saw a header superbly kept out by the visiting goalkeeper.
Oxford threw everything they had at Telford, but the Bucks kept them at arm’s length and held on to move themselves out of the bottom four.
