A late goal from substitute Miracle Okafor denied AFC Telford United a well-deserved draw in their final pre-season fixture.
The Bucks led twice against visiting Tamworth, whose back-to-back promotions in the last two seasons have propelled them into the National League, two tiers above their hosts.
That said, no additional points are awarded for style. Tamworth’s effectiveness is one of their biggest strengths, and this game will have provided the Bucks with a valuable reminder that you have to be able to prevail against many different styles to achieve your goals. It was Bucks who struck first when they took the lead in the 20th minute . A cross from the left-hand side was headed back across the edge of the six-yard box by Ellis Brown, and Jimmy Armson controlled the ball, executed a turn to his left and then curled a composed left-foot finish past Jaz Singh.
From a long Tom Tonks throw from the left touchline, the Bucks failed to deal with the situation that developed in their penalty area, and Willetts reacted by thumping a close-range finish high into the net past Brandon Hall.
