Worcester City (4-3-2-1).
7 Vaughan – commanded his area well and pulled off a couple of decent saves before conceding two goals late on.
6 Weir – making his first appearance at right back since December, the defender battled hard, but tired in the latter stages.
5 Thomas – was a physical presence at the back, but was unconvincing with many of his clearances and was caught flat footed at times.
6 Sharpe – was unfortunate to put the ball in his own net after a dogged display to keep Telford at bay until then.
5 Gudger – had a difficult afternoon marking Connor McCarthy who ran the show and right back Dwayne Samuels had joy down his wing.
7 JACKMAN – while his teammates often panicked under pressure, City’s skipper remained cool-headed throughout. My man of the match.
6 Gater – after a quiet first half, he tried to push further forward in the second period but failed to really make an impact.
5 Donnellan – usually City’s bright spark, the talented teenager’s inexperience showed as the pressure of the situation seemed to affect his game.
6 Murphy – was Worcester’s main outlet in attack as he latched onto a number of long balls, but the pacey winger was sloppy in possession.
5 Nti - cut a frustrated figure as he was starved of the ball and when he got hold of it Telford were quick to close him down.
5 Hughes – was lucky not get booked as he jostled with defender Curtis Tilt from the outset which failed to settle City’s nerves.
