Shrewsbury Town brought the summer to an end in stunning fashion, dispatching Leyton Orient 3-0 at The Croud Meadow.
A first senior goal for Leo Castledine, and two for substitute Tom Bloxham gave Paul Hurst’s side a memorable afternoon and saw them pick up their first points of the season.
The opening ten minutes were that of a game between two sides short on confidence, and points at the bottom of League One. And it was he who laid on the game’s opening goal for fellow loanee Castledine with 22 minutes on the clock. The Salop defence limited their opponents to efforts from range, with Ethan Galbraith’s swerving effort testing the palms of Toby Savin and Dan Agyei’s powerful strike clipping the top of the bar.Castledine looked to add to his account following a mazy run past several Orient defenders, but his effort was blocked on its way towards the bottom corner.
In the 82nd minute Bloxham, who just before his goal came close to assisting Gilliead following a Town counter-attack, doubled his side’s lead with a stunning effort from range.
