Early goals in both halves earned AFC Telford United a valuable 2-1 victory over bottom of the table Bath City.

Telford got a dream start when Chris Sharp tapped in for his first goal for the club inside the first two minutes.

But Bath rallied, showing quality not reflected by their status as the division's bottom side.

And they deservedly drew level on 22 minutes when a long ball from Pual Stonehouse picked out the run of Marley Watkins, who coolly lifted the ball over advancing keeper Ryan Young.

The Bucks scored what proved to be the winner in the first minute of the second half when Andy Brown headed in off a Sean Newton free-kick from wide on the right.
