A 2-1 victory over Stratford Town demonstrated AFC Telford United’s resilience and pleased manager Kevin Wilkin, lifting some of the immediate pressure he had been under.
Wilkin gave debuts to new signings Reece Styche and Sam Whittall, who both had an immediate impact, with Styche scoring what proved to be the winning goal.
“Sam’s a player that we tried to sign in the summer, and we were very, very close to signing him,” added Wilkin. “At the time, he chose to stay with Rushall, but he’s a local boy that we’d identified and wanted to bring on board.” The victory lifted the Bucks to 11th in the Southern Premier Central division, ahead of next weekend’s visit to AFC Sudbury, currently in the bottom four, but they are likely to be without the services of Kerr for their trip to Suffolk as well as a lengthy period of rehabilitation.
