AFC Telford vs Poppies Preview

A tough midweek away game for the Poppies at AFC Telford this evening as we visit the SEAH stadium kick off 19:45. Telford, who were victorious over Stamford 1-3, on Saturday are still in the FA Trophy having beaten Cleethorpes 2-1 at home but out of the FA Cup beaten 2-1 away to Gainsborough (another Poppies recent opponent), lie third in the league table two points behind KTFC. Poppies are on a six win run in the league and look to make it seven in row to extend their lead at the top of the table. With the games coming thick and fast, this one is another robust test for the resilience of Richard Lavery’s team.
