Royals were knocked out of the Charity

after hitting the bar. It was not to be
Royals' day though and Meole Brace scored
the winner in the last minute of normal
time.

13th November 2008 - Charity Cup game
in doubt
Royals' game against Meole Brace Colts
this weekend is unlikely to go ahead, due to
players not being available. With both
school and county level sporting commitments
clashing with this game, Royals do not have
enough players available to be able to field
a team.
The league are currently investigating
whether the school and county commitments
take precedence over the cup competition, in
which case the game would take place the
following weekend.
If they do not take a precedence, then
Royals would exit the competition by
forfeiting the game.
9th November 2008 - Royals slip to 5th
place
Royals see themselves slip to 5th place
in the table after today's defeat against
Market Drayton. After this weekend's
fixtures Shrewsbury Juniors are the only
unbeaten team. The other results were as
follows:
Shrewsbury Juniors 3-0 Meole Brace
Juniors
Shrewsbury Junior Colts 4-2 Meresiders
Meole Brace Colts 2-8 Baschurch
9th November 2008 - Market Drayton
Tigers 6-3 Royals
Royals came
unstuck this afternoon against a well
organised Market Drayton side, who are
surely a better team than their league
position suggests. Royals found themselves
3-0 down at one stage and despite a much
improved second half performance, they were
not able to reduce the deficit.
5th November 2008 - Market Drayton
Tigers match preview
Royals look forward to a 70 mile round
trip this weekend as they travel to Market
Drayton for their league game against the
Tigers. Royals' opponents will go into the
game on the back of a good win against
Baschurch last weekend, whilst Royals will
look to maintain their winning form.

November 2008, with a 2:00pm kick off.
Royals will be playing in blue.
3rd November 2008 - Weekend Results
Round Up
Shrewsbury Juniors stay top of the A
division after defeating Meole Brace Colts
6-0. Meole Brace Juniors stay second, with
the Royals in third place.

Church Stretton Royals 3-2 Shrewsbury Junior
Colts
Meresiders 1-4 Meole Brace Juniors
Shrewsbury Juniors 6-0 Meole Brace Colts
2nd November 2008 - Royals 3-2
Shrewsbury Junior Colts
Royals came
away from the Meadow today with 3 points and
will be hugely relieved that they did so,
after a below par first half performance saw
them going behind twice. In winning this
game they maintain the pressure on the top
two teams in the league. Their second half
performance was much improved and enough to
see off their opponents, with a winning goal
from Lewis 3 minutes from time.
