tonight. This result means the Meole Brace
Juniors claim the runners up spot as they go
3 points clear of the Royals.

edge towards second spot
Meole Brace all but finished Royals'
dreams of finishing second tonight, when

points with Royals and only need a draw in
their final game on Thursday to finish
second.
26th April 2009 - Royals come tumbling
down
Royals were given a harsh reality check
this morning at Shrewsbury Sports Village,
when they were hammered 4-0 by a well
organised and disciplined Shrewsbury Junior
Colts side. The Colts were 2-0 up after 20
minutes and Royals struggled to get a grip
on the game.
Miles was carried off in the first half,
with what looked to be a serious knee injury
and could take no further part in the game.
Royals now see their dreams of 2nd place
shattered, with 3rd place club Meole Brace
needing 4 points from their final 2 games to
make the spot theirs.
