Telford and Ebbsfleet promoted

Lincoln City will be heading to Telford and Ebbsfleet next season after both won their respective Playoffs Finail in the Blue Square North and South. The Imps have met Telford in recent years, facing them in the FA Cup in 2009, whereas City and Ebbsfleet have never met in a competitive match.

AFC Telford won a thrilling game with Guiseley on Sunday afternoon at Bucks Head, with a 90th minute Trainer goal gaining the club their first ever season in the top tier of non-league football (before anyone says it, they are NOT the same club as Telford United).

It will be the second time in three seasons that the Imps will face Telford after the clubs met in the FA Cup in November 2009. Telford claimed that they controlled the match, but the vast majority of their shots on goal were from 30/40 yards and the shot count was even. City did eventually win the game 3-1 and reached the third round.

Ebbsfleet on the other hand have never faced the Imps in competitive football. They won away at Farnborough to secure an immediate return to the Blue Square Premier. They were 3-0 up going into the final five minutes but two quickfire Farnborough goals made it nervous for a minute or two before Willock made it 4-2.
