Alex Meechan celebrates at Gainsborough after his first goal for Telford

AFC Telford scored five for the second Saturday running, to make the early running in the Blue Square Bet North.

Phil Trainer and Greg Mills put them two up at the break ahead of goals from Carl Rodgers, Alex Meechan and Liam Murray who made it three wins in three.

"We've had a fantastic first week with three great wins - 10 out of 10 for all the lads," Bucks boss Andy Sinton told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"Everyone's working their socks off, and I'm really proud of all of them."

Trainer set Telford on the way with a cross-shot that hit the target, and Mills - on a successful loan from Derby - made it 2-0 with a powerful follow-up after his initial effort hit a post.

Rodgers sealed it early in the second half, converting from close range after Andy Brown flicked the ball on at the near post.

Meechan struck a fine fourth after good work from Jon Adams, with Murray heading home number five late on.

"It's great to see the goals being spread around as well," said Sinton.

With nine points out of nine and a goal difference of +11 Telford would have expected to be clear at the top of the league.

But they are in fact equal with Boston after the Lincolnshire side managed a staggering 9-0 victory at Redditch.

Gainsborough manager Brian Little told BBC Lincolnshire:
"It was a really poor team effort, we fell apart and lacked spirit, which is disappointing to me.

"Individuals tried, but as a team we were non-existent and to lose 5-0 at home is embarrassing."
