Phil Trainer celebrates scoring for Telford

Phil Trainer scored twice to maintain AFC Telford's 100% start to the season with a 2-0 win over Gloucester.

He fired the Bucks ahead 10 minutes before half time and sealed a deserved win with a second on 54 minutes.

"The lads were top drawer and in the first half it was some of the best football we've played," boss Andy Sinton told BBC Radio Shropshire.

The only down side for Telford was the sending-off of Greg Mills deep into injury time for a second yellow card.

Mills' crucial booking came for delaying a free-kick when he felt a Gloucester player was standing too close.

"I can't believe it, I'm fuming about that," Sinton said.

Telford sit top of the Blue Square Bet North with 12 points out of 12, 13 goals scored and none conceded, to lead Alfreton and Workington, who have also enjoyed 100% starts, on goal difference.

"It's early days," Sinton stressed. "But it is lovely to be top, and it shows we're doing something right."
