Steve McNulty's Barrow keep out Telford at the Bucks Head

AFC Telford United fans have been praised for their honour in defeat, after losing to Barrow in the Blue Square North play-offs.

"They applauded us off the pitch, despite their disappointment," Barrow defender Steve McNulty told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"That was very moving, and I want to say a big "thank you" to them all."

McNulty played a part in keeping the Bucks at bay. But he said: "Telford are a big club, and they'll bounce back."

Barrow now face Stalybridge Celtic in Friday's play-off final, with the winners promoted to the Blue Square Premier.

"We're confident we can win through," said McNulty. "We always felt Telford would be the biggest hurdle.
