Telford out to avenge Farsley defeat
April 15th, 2009
AFC Telford United welcome Farsley Celtic to the New Bucks Head tonight with revenge very much on their minds. The Bucks suffered a 1-0 defeat at Farsley's Throstle Nest ground little over a fortnight ago. Damien Reeves scoring the only goal of the game. Tonight's match is Telford's fifth in only nine games and with a tough away trip to promotion rivals Southport on Saturday manager Rob Smith may be looking to shuffle his pack tonight and give some players a rest. Jon Adams (pictured) also remains a doubt after picking up a hamstring injury in Monday's 3-1 defeat at Alfreton.
