Sixth Round replay
New Bucks Head, Telford
A draw at Gay Meadow 10 days ago meant that this tie moved to Telford and the home side took full advantage as early as the fourth minute when Robin Hulbert opened the scoring.
Tony Naylor strengthened the Telford's grip on a place in the last four when he converted a penalty just before the break, leaving Shrewsbury, victors over Everton in last season's FA Cup, with it all to do in the second half.
However, it was just too little too late for Jimmy Quinn's outfit, who pulled one back courtesy of Duane Darby with ten minutes remaining.
Telford held on to take their place in the Semi-Final where they will face the leaders of the Ryman Premier Division, Canvey Island, over two legs for a place in the Final on 23rd May.
