AFC Telford United 0-0 Tamworth

Jimmy Turner appeals after his fifth-minute 'goal' is disallowed

Telford United will face Alfreton in the Blue Square North play-off semi-finals, after earning fourth place with a 0-0 draw against champions Tamworth.

Boss Rob Smith made eight changes, resting many senior players after securing a play-off place in midweek.

The Bucks came closest to winning it through Jimmy Turner's disallowed goal.

But Telford boss Rob Smith admitted: "The game was a bit of a damp squib really. All our efforts have been put into Wednesday night and Alfreton."

Smith told BBC Radio Shropshire: "The fringe players did well, and a draw with the league champions is a good result.

"But we were never going to approach the game in a gung-ho way. It was never about today - it was all about preparing for Wednesday night."

The other play-off semi-final will see fifth-placed Southport play second-placed Gateshead.
