Shrewsbury Town 1 Preston 0
Shrewsbury Town notched their first victory in English football's third tier for more than 15 years with a slender triumph over Preston.
Former Deepdale star Paul Parry scored the only goal of the game on four minutes, smashing home a 20-yard half-volley after a Mark Wright free-kick had been headed clear.
Both sides had their moments with Darren Jones heading against the post for Shrewsbury from a Wright corner while Parry and Matt Richards curled efforts just wide.
At the other end, Jones made a crucial block on a Chris Beardsley shot while former Town favourite Nicky Wroe - who joined Preston skipper Shane Cansdell-Sherriff in returning to the Greenhous Meadow - was only fractionally wide with a free-kick.
But Shrewsbury held firm to extend their unbeaten home record to 33 games and send the majority of the 6,444 crowd home happy.
