Late goal sinks Shropshire Under-18s

Injury-time heartbreak left Shropshire Under-18s shattered in their latest Midland Counties clash.

Without five players due to England Schoolboy trials, Shropshire had looked set to earn a point from their clash with Nottinghamshire at Ludlow after Jamie King had cancelled out an early strike from the visitors.

But Nottinghamshire snatched victory in the 93rd minute to leave Shropshire – who defeated Northamptonshire 2-0 in their opening match – empty handed.

“It was a very young side and a hard-working performance,” said manager Lewis Taylor.
