Bucks go for latest Premier scalp

Vaughan is relishing chance to play last season's promotion rivals Barrow

Telford defender Lee Vaughan is confident they can add Barrow to their list of Blue Square Premier scalps and reach the Setanta Shield final.

The Bucks, who travel to Holker Street on Tuesday night for the northern final, have already beaten Cambridge United, Burton Albion and Kettering.

"It's good times at this club," Vaughan told BBC Radio Shropshire. "We've just to keep going and carry on winning."

Telford lost 4-0 on aggregate in the play-offs last season against Barrow.

The Bluebirds went on to achieve promotion from the Blue Square North but are now in the relegation zone in the Premier.

And Vaughan insists that, a year on, Telford are a better team.

"We've brought better players in," said Vaughan. "And I think we're better as a side."

The Bucks have had success in all the cup competitions this season.

They also knocked out another Blue Square Premier side Northwich Victoria in the FA Cup in October to reach the first round proper.

And they enjoyed another win over Kettering in reaching the semi-finals of the FA Trophy, in which they play York City over two legs later this month.

Telford will be without striker Andy Brown for the trip to Holker Street, manager Rob Smith having opted to rest him after his first start in over a month on Saturday against Hyde.

But Danny Carey-Bertram, who picked up an ankle injury at the weekend, is expected to be fit.
