Gainsborough 0 - 2 AFC Telford

AFC Telford United are in the first round of the FA Trophy after a professional performance at Blue Square North rivals Gainsborough Trinity.

Striker Danny Carey-Bertram put the Bucks ahead 10 minutes before the break from a Carl Rodgers left-wing cross.

The win was sealed in second-half injury-time as Terry Fearns blasted a half-volley from the edge of the area.

The blank means Trinity have now failed to score a goal in their last four league and cup games.


Telford assistant boss Larry Chambers told BBC Radio Shropshire:

"It was important we bounced back with a win. This is a trophy we can go far in."

Gainsborough boss Steve Charles told BBC Radio Lincolnshire:

"It's important to get the first goal but at the moment we can't seem to work the opposition goalkeeper.

"Our forwards need to believe in themselves a little more, and when they get half-chances they have to hit the target.

"We haven't scored for four matches. We have been actively trying to get a striker and we will continue to try to do that."
