Shrews march on in Cup

Shrewsbury's stunning Capital One Cup run continued with an impressive 1-0 victory over Sky Bet Championship side Norwich.James Colins was the goal hero for the League Two side with a fine header early in the second half.Neil Adams, the Norwich manager, made 11 changes to the side held by Birmingham in the Championship last weekend and the Canaries should have taken an early lead.Elliott Bennett delivered a fine cross from the left, but Northern Ireland international Kyle Lafferty, completely unmarked, somehow headed over.Defender Ignasi Miquel was then also too high with a header from a Bennett corner, but Shrewsbury matched Norwich for long stages and grew increasingly confident as the first half developed.Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro, set free by a lovely pass from skipper Liam Lawrence, unleashed a drive which was straight at goalkeeper Declan Rudd and the French striker also fired just wide from 20 yards following a skilful run.Cameron Gayle and James Wesolowski also went close for the underdogs.The breakthrough finally arrived nine minutes into the second half when skipper Liam Lawrence's free-kick was helped on by Jermaine Grandison and striker Collins headed high into the net past Rudd from 10 yards.Norwich rarely suggested an equaliser was likely with right-back Steven Whittaker dragging one of the few chances they created beyond the far post late on as Shrewsbury deservedly progressed to the last 16 for the first time since the 1986/7 season.
