FA Cup First Round Appearance in 8 Years! The Bucks' Triumph
This Saturday, AFC Telford United secured an overwhelming 6-0 victory against National League North rivals Darlington in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round! 🎉 This win marks their triumphant return to the FA Cup first round proper after an 8-year absence. This is an absolutely remarkable achievement.
A 'Sensational' Team, a 'Sensible' Victory?
In a post-match interview with BBC Radio Shropshire, Manager Kevin Wilkin described the team's performance as 'sensational' and humbly stated it was a 'sensible' victory. However, contrary to the manager's words, he expressed confidence that the team dominated the game and could have scored even more goals.
He remarked, "The players were sensational, it was a sensational result for us," adding, "In fact, we could have scored three more goals with some of the moments we had in the first half which were as good as the goals we scored." He likened their relentless pressure and never-give-up attitude to a 'dog with bones,' never letting go.

A Feast of Goals!
The scoring on the day began with a goal from Dylan Allman-Haddadi. Matty Stenhouse then netted two goals, and an own goal by Toby Lee (while noted as his own goal in the article, it is presumed to be an own goal given the context of the 4-0 scoreline at halftime) contributed to their commanding 4-0 lead at halftime. 🤯
In the second half, substitute Adam George added two more goals to complete the team's dominant 6-0 victory. It was truly a goal-scoring extravaganza!
