    League Two outfit suffer another cup shock

    Giantkillers Staines thoroughly deserved their 1-0 victory against League Two high-flyers Shrewsbury. Leading scorer Ali Chaaban weaved his way past three defenders on a 30-yard run to shoot past Chris Neal into the far corner after 21 minutes. Soon after, Dave Hibbert headed narrowly over but it wasn't a sign of a fightback by the Football League side, who were completely disjointed and never threatened Louis Wells in the Staines goal. Shrewsbury had promised all week that they would never repeat the humiliation of defeat a year ago by Blyth Spartans but this was an equal embarrassment at the hands of a team who could easily have had more goals. Substitute Dean Thomas headed over a gaping goal 10 minutes from the end, and at the final whistle the handful of Staines supporters invaded the pitch to congratulate their heroes.
