Confident Shane Killock in challenge to AFC Telford

AFC Telford United skipper Shane Killock is eyeing a Blue Square Bet Premier promotion push – of sorts.

The Bucks defender, who faced a late fitness test on a back injury ahead of this afternoon's visit of league leaders Fleetwood Town, is eyeing a leap into mid-table during the final 10 games of the season.

Telford are currently embroiled in a nine-team battle for the four relegation spots, but Killock is confident the squad can pull away from danger.

"There's a little mini-league at the bottom of the division at the moment and we're top of that," he said.

"What we want to do now is see if we can bridge the gap to the sides above us and jump into the mid-table league.

"But we're not taking anything for granted. We've had a couple of good results and gone up to 10th quite quickly so a couple of bad results can easily take you back down again."

AFC?Telford were holding a Wear Green for Macmillan Day at the match which will see a host of fundraising activities to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support
