Fook this Prem League lark off.
Did the massive journey (5 min walk) to see the start of the FA Cup journey for Market Drayton Town this evening.
Facing Shifnal Town in a banging game. Around 200 folk joined me in witnessing MDT's 3rd win since I moved to the town in 2020.
Shifnal battered them for 30 mins but only scored once. MDT got back in the game and were unlucky not to be level at HT.
Tight start to the 2nd half with a few half chances before Shifnal had a chance to put the game to bed from the spot. Pen was saved and the game was on.
MDT subbed their number 9, best described as the Shropshire Maierhofer but worse in the air. Within 3 mins back level. Tidy header in the bottom corner.
93rd min and it was utter scenes as MDT scrambled the ball over the line. Mad celebrations led by the Gingerbread Ultras.
Ref managed to find 4 extra mins to play but fine defending led MDT to victory.
Ref only booked 2 players despite about 20 yellow card challenges.
Top evening for just £7.
