Telford United climbed to the top of the Southern Central Premier on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Stamford at the SEAH Stadium. Goals from Matty Stenson and Jimmy Armson secured the three points for the Bucks, who capitalized on a slip-up from Kettering Town . Manager Gavin Wilkin expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, highlighting their resilience and the importance of securing wins in a tightly contested league.
He praised the team's concentration and highlighted the quality of the second goal, a fantastic move that sealed the victory. Wilkin also acknowledged the addition of loanee Max Brogan from Scunthorpe United, stating that it has strengthened the squad. The Bucks now sit two points ahead of Kettering Town, who suffered a 3-2 loss at Redditch United.
