Salop made it four wins from four in pre-season with a comfortable victory over National League Harriers - Appleton's side have now managed to keep three clean sheets in those matches. 

Playing for the first time on home turf this summer, Town took the lead when John Marquis lobbed the ball over the keeper. 

In the second half, George Nurse fired home from range, and Max Mata, who was making his first appearance for Shrews since returning from his loan spell in New Zealand, added a third. 

“I was happy, and delighted at times,” the Shrewsbury boss said, reflecting on a solid afternoon's work. “I thought at times in the first half we created countless opportunities and made the goalkeeper work, had lots of box entries, and they were from different situations as well.
