The visitors went a goal up when Home keeper Moore spilled a cross shot leaving the Shrewsbury player with a simple tap-in. The young shrews then doubled their lead before the break with a solid finish.
Shortly after the interval, a third goal arrived when a shot from way out near the touchline drifted in at the far post.
The Bulls rallied with a well-worked goal of their own before a converted penalty brought the score back to 2-3. Another long-range effort and a shot from the edge of the box sealed the fate of the young Bulls.
The visitors were the better side and deserved their win but it’s fair to say that some wasteful work in the final third by the hosts and a couple of deceptive long shots contributed to the final score.
