Shrewsbury 0 Port Vale 1

Saturday 10th October 2009, 6:25PM BST.

Shrewsbury Town slipped to defeat at the Prostar Stadium thanks to a Port Vale goal on the stroke of half-time.

John McCombe headed in what proved to be the winner off Louis Dodds’ cross, the goal coming in the third minute of time added on at the end of the first half.

Shrewsbury’s hopes of getting back into the game were dealt a severe blow when skipper Graham Coughlan was sent off after 55 minutes. He had been booked early on and had to go when he was yellow carded for a second time for handball.
