Another chance game when a flick from Sam found Shinna high and wide and he delivered a great cross into the box unfortunately no Cassies player was there to meet it. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />HALF TIME <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />Cassies 1-0 Shrewsury DC <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />Second Half. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />With just 2 mins in to the second half a defensive misunderstanding led to DC getting the ball and the forward made no mistake slotting the ball in to the Cassies net 1-1. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />Straight from the kick off Cassies lost possession of the ball resulting in a nothing corner. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />Up the other end a great cross field ball from jospin landed at the feet of Macalla who rifled a shot that left the DC cross bar shaking. From the subsequent goal kick DC were back on the attack and a deflected shot left Brimma wrong footed and DC were 2-1. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />It was 17 mins into the second half before Cassies got there first corner and after a bit of pinball Painy tried an acrobatical overhead kick that was inches over the bar. Another Cassies attack found jospin surrounded by 4 players he still managed to get the shot off that went just wide. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />There were a few more good chances for both teams but when the final whistle blew it was Shrewsbury who took the 3 point in a really competitive game. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />Joe Reynolds got man of the match for defending well against a player twice his size. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />Well done lads.
