Perfect Shrewsbury make the step up
Shrewsbury are ready to put last season’s perfect record to the test when they step up a level tomorrow, writes Bradley Rice.
Shrews won every match on their way to promotion last season and travel to Longton tomorrow for their opening game of the Midlands Two West (North) season.
And head coach Simon Evitts is looking forward to pitting his wits against a higher level of opponent.
“It was nice to win week in, week out last season but we have now gone up a level and we are ready to test ourselves,” said Evitts. “To quote our captain, Jon Bucknall, ‘Rugby isn’t supposed to be easy, it’s meant to push you to your limits, it’s meant to be a challenge’.
“This is where we want to be, we want to become an established team in this division.”
