Andy Brown fires in from long range against Blyth

AFC Telford set their patchy Blue Square form aside to crush Blyth Spartans 4-0 and reach the first round of the FA Cup.

Liam Blakeman gave the Bucks a first half lead, while goals from Phil Trainer and an Andy Brown brace eased Telford through.

"We were strong, and when the chances came we took them," assistant boss Larry Chambers told BBC Shropshire.

"It was a good all-round performance though, our best of the season."

Chambers added: "Brown is one of the best strikers in the league. He's been frustrating this season, but these two goals showed what he can do."

"Trainer's goal [to make it 2-0] was decisive. I knew we needed a second, and when it came, everyone relaxed. There was only going to be one winner after that."

Telford will now face League Two side Lincoln at home in the FA Cup first round on 7 November.
