Cheltenham missed a good chance seven minutes later when Wes Burns headed Matt Richards’ cross wide after a short corner taken by Matt Sparrow.

Shaun Harrad went down in the box under a challenge from Jermaine Grandison in the 38th minute, but a free-kick was given against him and Shrews goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler denied Burns in first half stoppage time.
