SHREWTON recorded their third successive victory after a dramatic comeback saw them claim all three points.

The visitors, missing both centre midfielders in captain Dean Foot and Lewis Barr, began the game in confident mood but this quickly disappeared as Trowbridge took the initiative and deservedly went ahead after United failed to properly clear a cross and the loose ball was fired past Joe Sheldrake in the Shrewton goal from the edge of the box.

The hosts continued to dictate possession as Shrewton struggled on a small pitch.

However, they almost found a way back into the game as the usually clinical Craig Lewis blazed over from 10 yards out in what was the visitors’ best chance of the half.

That miss proved costly as again slack Shrewton defending from a corner allowed Trowbridge to make it 2-0 with a glancing near-post header finding the back of the net.

The remainder of the first half saw no more chances created as the game appeared to be won.

Following an inspired half-time team talk from manager Graham Coombes, the visitors emerged a different team in the second period as they dominated straight from the restart.

Both Dom Jackson and Jordan Brett began to dictate the game from midfield as Shrewton immediately camped in the Trowbridge half and in the 50th minute, top goalscorer Lewis beat his man on the wing before coming inside and unleashing an unstoppable effort from the edge of the box and into the top corner.

Sensing an opportunity to turn the game around, United continued to heavily press and minutes later a free-kick from 25 yards saw another fine finish from Lewis level it up at 2- 2.

At this stage there only looked like there would be one winner as Shrewton sensed an opportunity to complete a comeback that seemed unlikely at halftime.

The goal that sealed the points was worthy of winning any game as Craig Appleby found space 25 yards from goal before firing into the top corner giving the hosts goalkeeper no chance.

Shrewton safely negotiated what little time was left and the third win on the bounce leaves them in sixth place and within touching distance of the early pace-setters.
