Morecambe secured their first league victory of the season with a 2-1 win over AFC Telford United, a result that left Telford at the bottom of the league table. The match, played on August 29, 2026, saw debutant Teddy Collis make a significant impact by scoring both goals for Morecambe.

Collis opened the scoring just 90 seconds into the match, finishing from a precise through ball delivered by Elliot Newby. His second goal came in first-half injury time, when he capitalized on a quick counterattack, controlling the ball inside the area before slotting it home. Prior to halftime, Morecambe created multiple scoring opportunities, with Collis twice thwarted by goalkeeper Lewys Benjamin, and defenders Zak Lilly making critical goal-line blocks to deny attempts from Joe Garner and Paul Lewis.

Morecambe began the second half strongly, with Ben Williams narrowly missing the target with an early shot. However, Telford gradually mounted a response. Jack Lambert had a shot cleared off the line by Liam Hogan, while Sam McLintock came close to scoring. Telford continued to put pressure on, with goalkeeper Myles Boney pushing a dipping Remi Walker free kick over the bar. Despite a series of close chances, including a glaring opportunity squandered by Matty Stenson when he volleyed over from three yards, Telford finally reduced the deficit through Louis Moult’s header from a Walker corner in the 88th minute. Stenson also missed a late chance, heading over the crossbar.

Morecambe’s victory marks a crucial early-season boost as they aim to improve their league standing, while the defeat leaves AFC Telford United searching for their first points of the campaign.
