Morecambe claim first win of season

Rene Howe's early strike was enough to give Morecambe their first victory of the season as they ran out 1-0 winners over Shrewsbury. Howe produced a superb finish from Stewart Drummond's long ball after four minutes to give his side a confidence-boosting win against the League Two promotion favourites. The Shrimps came close to extending their lead but were denied on two occasions by Luke Daniels who saved neatly at the feet of Matty Blinkhorn and superbly from Garry Hunter. Shrewsbury struggled to create clear-cut chances with Grant Holt heading over and Barry Roche saving neatly from Shane Cansdell-Sherriff.
