Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Montgomery Waters Meadow as Shrewsbury Town FC face off against Northampton Town FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 4' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Nohan Kenneh.
  • 9' Northampton Town FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 14' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Northampton Town FC that had 191 games and scored 158 goals.
  • 19' Tom Flanagan is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Northampton Town FC so far.
  • 20' Northampton Town FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Matthew Taylor will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 37' Louis Appere was booked on 37.
  • 42' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 43' Time for substitution for Shrewsbury Town FC. Taylor Perry is replaced by Elliott Bennett.
  • 45' Northampton Town FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 50' A quiet spell here at Montgomery Waters Meadow. Shrewsbury Town FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 52' The supporters are chanting for Tyreece Simpson. He replaces Louis Appere on 52 minute.
  • 57' Lee Burge has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 60' Shrewsbury Town FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Bowman is hanging Tom Bayliss on the field on 60 minute.

  • 75' Both keepers have barely been tested. Shrewsbury Town FC and Northampton Town FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 80' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Harvey Lintott suffering a number of foals already.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Jason Sraha. He replaces Morgan Feeney on 83 minute.
  • 84' Ben Fox gets the nod from Northampton Town FC. He replaces Kieron Bowie and will look to change the dynamic.

  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
