Steve Kittrick: 'We can still avoid relegation'

AFC Telford United manager Steve Kittrick insists that his team can still avoid relegation from the Conference Premier.

AFC Telford United manager Steve Kittrick has revealed that there is still belief at the club that they can avoid relegation to the Conference North.

The Bucks won promotion to the top tier of non-League football last season, but with six games remaining, they must overhaul a 14-point deficit to retain their Conference Premier status.

Their fate could potentially be sealed should they lose to Dover Athletic on Saturday afternoon, but Kittrick has insisted that putting together a string of wins could put pressure on their rivals.

Kittrick is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "We still believe in that dressing room. We feel we can still do it. Two or three back-to-back wins does wonders.

"The secret is to play with no fear, with a smile on our faces and put some pressure on the teams around us."

Telford head into Saturday's game after recording a 2-0 win over Braintree Town in midweek.
